I was told this is because using roll to level the wings would further change the AOG of the wing. Is this not the same in Jets?
SEPs suffer from a helical prop wash around the empenage and so will roll once the ailerons loose authority. Swept wing jets however have an extremely strong roll effect in response to rudder initiating potentially considerable roll for which the only way to counter it maybe to apply opposite rudder. Loss of control is a distinct possibility.

Some Jets also utilise washout to encourage the tips to stall last (tapered wings stall tip first which is extremely problematic). They also utilise flight spoilers for roll that do not in themselves change the AOA like ailerons do.
