I disagree with you. People just need to learn to read their Owner's Manuals and understand how their vehicles work. Those two buttons control two very different (though closely-related) systems. I would NEVER want them combined into one "dumb people" button; especially on a sports car. There are more than 3 modes when these buttons are used in combination.

Mode 1: VSC On, TC On
Mode 2: VSC On, TC Off (to 31 MPH)
Mode 3: VSC Sport, TC On
Mode 4: VSC Sport, TC Off (to 31 MPH)
Mode 5: VSC Off, TC Off (unlimited)

Stability Control, and Traction Control are two very different things, and people need to learn this.
