It's not aluminium, it's CHEAP aluminium.

There are aluminium alloys that are fantastic and are as hard and ductile as some steel alloys (obviously not stronger than top grade steel). But those alloys aren't all that cheap...

100%. Build that fucker out of 7075 T6 aluminum and it will be tougher than a $2 steak.
