Let's do another one. You're doing 100 on a highway and there is a sweeping curve covered in snow. I'd rather have my drive AND control tires be better than the rears. I could point the tires where I want to go and apply gas. Would you rather have the good tires on the back there? You'd fly off the road as you'd have no means of controlling the vehicle with the steering wheel or the throttle.

Actually.
You slow the #### down before the corner so your steers aren’t overpowered and pushed into an under steer condition. That is both safer, technically speaking, and far easier to execute and predict, than having the rear end of your vehicle come out.
The thing is, for people like us, we love to do it. Who doesn’t throw the ass end out one way or another every time they can? And most of us don’t end up in the ditch or head first into incoming traffic every time.
But when you’re driving down the road, sharing it with other users, underwater is easier to mitigate, and easier to control when it unexpectedly occurs than oversteer.
If you have to use throttle to get out of a rear-end slide, you were going to fast into the turn. Intentionally it’s fun…into the oncoming lane in front of an oncoming family van? Dickheaded.
