Care to explain to us how that would aerodynamically happen in a power off straight ahead wings level coordinated stall as per certification requirements?

A wing drop indicates an asymmetry in how the stall propagates from the wing root to the tip.
A generic light SE GA airplane does not experience a full wing stall just a partial wing stall as indicated by aileron effectiveness well into the buffet.

Unless we are flying an elliptical wing planform with rounded wingtips but that’s not what the original poster was asking about.
