I disagree - it is quite natural to push your arms out in front of your chest for lifting. The Smith may cause some undo stress on the wrists as it locks you in to a particular path of movement, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it does not incorporate stabilizers - your shoulders are still moving and your core is still under some stress in the press.
