That's correct and it is also why one should have an appropriately rated WDH.

To take it to the extreme, if one were to use a WDH that was rated for a 10,000# TW, the spring bars would never flex and the rear TV wheels would never absorb the "Bumps & dips" resulting in all extra loading going to the trailer axle and TV front axle.
