This is why I stay away from cashgames.
I've always been a tournament style player so I can't really judge from the cash game side but I see what you are saying here OP.
If i lose a few buyins from a tourney I will play a small session of cash to try and get some money back real quick.

You need to recover your bankroll before winning back more.
With bad beats and not catching a hand you will lose more while you're hoping to win back more.
I meant with all those bad beats when you are on tilt you can lose whole bankroll. If you lose a few buyins you are also probably on tilt and lose in cashgames. Just take a brake before playing cashgames.This is why I stay away from cashgames.

I don't think you can treat the results of every tournament you play in isolation.
If you play 30 days cash in a row, and play a same buy in tournament for 30 days (ie. 30 tournaments), you look and see how you have done over the 30 days (or 3 months or a year etc).
I think the good/bad variance is probably the same. Probably the best advice is to understand the subtle differences in approach (to cash and tournament play), and work on your game to become expert in both.

I've tried that but over 9 weeks each (so around 2 months+ being a dedicate Tourney player and 2 months+ of cash game)
I admit, I tested this mostly on play money to see which renders the most ability for good players to abuse weak ones and acquire profit and found that both on real money and fake money cash gaming was the way to go (both short term and long term).
In cash games, proportional aggression isn't punished in the same way as tournaments. You can afford to push good hands and afford to fold 11 hands in a row (which could be suicidal to do as we hit mid-late tourney stage).
You know what? I don't want to argue about this with this site. Something I've come to understand is that tournament players are prouder of their form of poker than cash game players are so they come louder to my threads and posts and reply with mocking remarks and the cash game players quietly agree with me not fighting back.
This is sad.
I leave you with a song:

I have played tournaments and a lot of cash. I think you will gravitate to the form that gives you the best results. But the more you play, the more you learn, tournament or cash.

Oh forgot it. You can try to lose your bankroll there too.

Tournaments are a great way to win money and not lose all of your bankroll, and the cash game is good that you can win a lot or lose your entire bankroll, you need to be cunning with cash game and do not climb big bets if you are not sure what to win, I like tournaments good game

cash games are always played super deep (should always have min of 100BB), so postflop play of a cash game player is normally better. but a tourney player will pick better spots to stack off in as once you punt ur stack u are done, unless of course you can rebuy or pay more to move on to next mtt. cash games you can simply reload a 100BB and go onto the next hand with the fish that stacked you on a suck out and get ur money back.
