Agreed. I also think there is no way to change the amount of lean that doesn't also change turning arc or speed.
For a given speed and turn arc, the lean is going to be what it will be. There is no way to will or force the bike to be more upright without changing these two things.
If you think of the lean angle using the center of gravity of you and the bike, I think you are correct.
However, you can go through a turn with the bike itself more or less upright by leaning the bike relative to your body.
