That change the angle of the rod, so in theory less stress on the piston

The longer rod is supposed to be a little less angle on the rod as it articulates around on the crank. That means less stress on the rod, piston, and bore. The 115 rod does require different Pistons though.

since when does the rod know or care what piston is attached to it

You're right, it doesn't care. But the crank does when a piston with the pin at the wrong height and the skirt to low come smashing into it.

^? Technically the typical long rod piston has a skirt that hangs lower over the rod.
