If ABS interferes often during DD .. probably because one (comfort aside) brakes in way with high risk of getting rear ended. If TC frequently interferes, very possibly one drives over speed limit, faster then traffic flow, or even hoons/drifts. Fines aside, higher risk of own injuries/crash aside .. what others on road have done to deserve higher risks by wish of someone unrelated for more adrenaline but not wishing to do that on track? Car technical capabilities aside, car nannies limitations aside, driver multitasking capabilities aside, simply by nature of DD on public roads there are many uncontrollable variables, road design can be less forgiving/of costlier mistakes, one knows long roads less detailed then track lap lapped many times, in long drives there is less concentration, reactions are duller/slower. That all warrants higher safety margin, with which in turn makes thresholds of most nannies for people on public roads far from being such nuisance to hate.
I didn’t solicit yours, or their views either, yet here you are.
Also, Tl;dr
