I've got to think having the end supports, even though they are not bolted down, has got to be a big improvement over not having them.

Now there's what I wanted to know.
How does that offer any more structure rigidity?

On my T&D system, the outer rocker arm and the one next to it is supported by a single integral unit. Better explained with a picture.

This was a pretty good thread on end stands and several posts address that very issue:

Seems like it kind of converts the single shear mounting of the end into a double shear version. Which is always beneficial, because it takes the flexing of the end away.

The end stands incorporate the end plate, so tying the assembly together as one.

End stands ARE bolted down.
They support the cantilevered part of the shaft.
