It does, but I don't know if you'll understand given my poor description below. It all comes under the heading "Role of the Right Shoulder".
The Right Forearm needs to be On Plane at Impact. Every good Ball-Striker does this instinctively. Each Plane Angle (Shorter Clubs have Steeper Plane Angles) has a Stance Width to keep the Right Shoulder the needed distance from the Ball so that the Right Forearm can be On Plane at Impact by arriving through its Angle of Approach. If the Stance Width is too narrow, then you must either "Tilt" to the Right (Accommodating the Right Forearm Angle of Approach) or add a Swivel through Impact because the Right Forearm is coming in to high.
If you're "Tilting" to the Right, then "Widen" your Stance. By Widening your Stance, you'll no longer need to tilt and you'll stop Tilting.
Some players shift their Hips forward and they learn to Tilt to Improve their Approach Angle. Others simply learn that Tilting to the right lets them approach the ball from a shallower angle and using a narrower Stance makes all things easier.
Either way, these compensations correct a faulty Right Shoulder distance from the Ball which causes a Faulty Approach Angle which is caused by incorrect Stance Width.
Want to prove this? Take a narrow Stance and Play the Ball far forward the left foot way beyond the left shoulder. Hit a few balls but move the ball forward until you no longer tilt backwards while striking the ball. Then move the ball and your right foot back 5" at a time and strike the ball. When the ball and right foot has been moved back a few times and the ball becomes opposite your left shoulder, look how wide your stance has become.
Hint: This is what "Impact Fix" does for any club length on any plane angle.
That means you do not need a lot of shift if your stance is correct and the right forearm is on plane, in contrary to what they said you need a lot of shift and almost all amateur does not have enough shift coming down. (In TGM, rotated shoulder turn also indicated shiftness turn.) Professional players such as Tiger, Nick, etc.. were used to show the ton amount of shift in their downswing before impact.
I think S&T has morphed away from the Tilt in order to better fit the mainstream, but they cannot get away from the fact that to make it work, you have to stand up through the shot, which violates the most primary fundamental of a good golf stroke - a steady head.

Do they teach standing up? My understanding is it's more a thrust of hips/pelvis towards the target. Sorta it's only the lower body that's standing up...hehe
