Yes but that's a secondary effect, accuracy is the primary reason, a tumbling round is very unpredictable. Long rod penetrators aren't spun for stability, they are fin stabilized and retain their velocity much better.
Yes, all spitzer bullets yaw, but you can take steps to maximize or minimize the effect. You don't have to deliberately weaken the bullet so that it fragments either.
No argument with the rest, but I did say terminal ballistics, that's post impact, inside the target.
