Being able to pedal a car that is constantly trying to wiggle out from under you is a rush and doing so successfully brings a feeling of accomplishment akin to actually giving a woman a legit orgasm, not that one she fakes so you won't feel bad; we will call that sexual traction control.

These cars have ridiculous grip, more than I am used to and, strangely, is starting to bore me. It's TOO good. I know I'm not this good, my car is just so good I look good. At first that was fun, but now I'm starting to feel like a Justin Beiber driver, fake and all show hoping a real driver doesn't think I'm actually as good as the car makes me look.

I'm not going to go to another more unforgiving car just to get that back, I like this car for more reasons than the handling, but I definitely have the traction control off and wind the shit out of that poor little engine trying to make the car act silly.
Dori Dori seems to agree with you here (GC8 WRX STI Version III vs. Version V):
