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.

Tourque limitation is coming standard on a lot of new cars. Even AWD ones. Manufacturers don't really advertise it though.
And the GTI performance pack now has a mechanical diff lock.
Different strokes for different folks, but no matter how you cut it, my front drive GTI with an APR tune, has beat the snot out of a new Golf R stock. For about 10k less. And regardless of AWD, it would do the same on a track, the gap is that long. AWD won't make up for the power difference.
