You can compensate for that by "tanksteering" the bot in the opposite direction. But that compensation is based on dynamics (forces) not simple kinematics.

With a true swerve it is straightforward to solve the inverse kinematics to get straight-line motion while simultaneously turning. Just make the direction command field-centric.
