Is there a reason why most companies are starting to use these new technologies as they don't seem to be very proficient which is kind of odd for newer cars to be called innovated when they have parts that aren't as great.
Furthermore I thank you all for your replies, and am overjoyed to have you all trying to help me out when I myself was seeking answers. Thanks again and any new replies and past experiences are certainly welcome!

Drive by wire is for traction control. If the wheels start to slip the car can back off without you lifting. Helps with packaging to a degree, no cables to deal with.
Drive by wire has been around for 30 or 40 years. The lag is there, but it is much better than it used to be. I notice it most trying to rev match on down shifts, a quick stab doesn't always produce any throttle response. Almost like the accelerator pump is out.
Cars are much much safer than they were 30 years ago. Drive by wire is part of that.
