There is so much electronic wizardry going on up front now, you have to be in 100% maniac mode for the car to get upset in a corner. Also APR tunes the car so well now, they have a torque limiter in 1st and second now to off set any issues.
An Electronic Differential Lock puts the brakes to the spinning wheel. I've had this feature on several cars.

My opinion of having fun in a powerful car is not having the brakes put on one wheel while I mash the throttle.

Nor is it to have the software limit torque in 1st and 2nd.

I think you're underrating how fun it is to have a car with significant power that you can fully use, and even scare yourself with the throttle without even being close to any danger of leaving the road.
