All tubing, stainless, regular steel, aluminum or titanium can be bent "properly", however, thin wall Ti and SS present challenges. The equipment and tooling needed can be complex and expensive. It may even need to be hydroformed rather than using traditional tube bending techniques. Either way this segmented construction is clearly a hack.
