It's always a shame to see things like that happen. But I guess so many people who buy them wind up looping into guardrails they need to make sure the car owners are protected from themselves. I remember that being an issue in the mid-90s w/ the newer corvettes. The first generation that came with traction control had well over 300 hp. The traction control could be turned on or off (fully defeated). Drivers were stuffing the cars after turning off the traction control. A friend of a friend looped his off the road and into the trees the first week he owned it. He was showing off the car to the mutual friend at the time
Thankfully continued development of these systems in higher-end cars is resulting in less-intrusive versions that truly only kick in when things are starting to go horribly wrong. Hopefully that technology will get inexpensive enough it will trickle down to everyday cars so you can still have fun with them on highway ramps, etc. (not that, uh, I would ever do something like that)
Cars are like kitchen knives. The people who can afford the really, really expensive, high performance ones are the people who are least likely to need the performance in the first place! and the ones who can really benefit from it are usually the ones with the least chance of being able to afford them.
