Tire blowing out, getting sideswiped, mechanical failure of your vehicle or of a vehicle near you, someone changing lanes on the freeway with no blinker and without looking (20 mph speed differential is quite shocking no matter how prepared you are), black ice, oils, animals on the road, high winds, falling debris (rocks, trees), road failure, debris that obscure your vision. That's what I came up with.
I know you just counter with generic "well I wouldn't allow myself to be in that situation/traction control kicks in unexpectedly I react better without it" but the facts remain that nobody is perfect and the sooner you accept that the smoother your life will be. Traction Control systems are beneficial for driving on public roads, get off your high horse.
Edit: I'm right there with you, if the option existed to get a car without the junk I would, but don't go around preaching how awful they all are, you just make an ass of yourself.
