Only in the crappy systems. The good ones at the very least use a Torsen or Haldex center differential to distribute torque away from slipping wheels. The only way traction control is required in these systems is if one wheel is not contacting the road surface at all, so it is applying zero torque and is free spinning. Otherwise it's 100% mechanical.
