aluminium is softer !?!
that has nothing to do with flex-ability, balsa wood is extremely soft compared to pine, but has far less flex.

in general, steel frames flex more than aluminum

And stiffer. As aluminum's a soft metal, it needs to be boxed, hydroformed, and so on, to be strong. This ends up making the frame much stiffer.
