I don't know the answer.
I don't see how it could, it's all about leverage. A longer lever has more so longer tubes should have more especially if the wall thickness is the same. That has to be why bigger lightweight frames are often noodly which can be a good thing if it's endearing to you. Thicker tubes may change that but still won't be the same.
Totally agree with the opening statement and adding that the builder and the build can be just as important.
Many bikes ride well but it can be very special when a bike really works for you, I always equate it to vinyl and digital, vinyl has soul, digital does not.
