If one tips the new inside foot inside the boot as one flexes that leg, the tip divergence doesn't happen. The ankle-tipping points the forefoot towards the outside of the new turn due to the diagonal angle of the subtalar joint's axis. The ROM is tiny, but it's significant.
I have big problems with this as an absolute statement. You absolutely can tip inside the inside boot and diverge. I have in fact done it many times myself, sometimes willingly, sometimes unwillingly!
In fact, I think one of the most basic problems in this technical area is if anything people are trying to create too much tipping out of the inside ankle joint relative to the amount they are creating tipping by the simple vertical lifting of the inside leg. Both things need to happen, of course.
Aesthetics I guess figure, but there are other ways divergence and o framing can be less functional other than a weight distribution issue. Even within the foot to foot issue, I think sometimes it would actually be easier for some people to control their inside ski's direction if their inside ski was more weight bearing, for people who get too invested in 100% outside ski pressure in all phases and situations, to the exclusion of making the inside leg weight bearing at all.
For example, any situation where it pays because of terrain and snow conditions to have your skis moving in a very consistent direction close to one another, like tight high performance bump skiing. Obviously there are many people who ski very well without parrallel shins in both an O and A framey sense (Ballou, Mike Rogan, etc.), so it's not like it ruins everything, but when it's highly exaggerated you might want to seek to minimise it.
But another big part of what I'm talking about is that sometimes people have things going on with their ability to articulate their outside ankle that need to be solved in a big picture way. Ski industry professionals, myself included, like sometimes to get a bit myopic on one movement pattern or skill area and try to make it the the hammer to every problem's nail.
