My theory is that the car still brakes to keep the Differential happy because it loses effectiveness if one of the wheels is in free spin.
The weird case is that if one side has no traction and you lift it thinks the side that is on the pavement is spinning because it doesn't slow down as fast as the side without traction.
It then brakes the wheel that is on the pavement and you can kiss you a$$ goodbye.
That is my theory.
Or you know, lift off oversteer
