This car was originally designed for the track with a Porsche selected as a performance benchmark for handling. It was not intentionally designed for drifting. Its ability to drift is simply a side-effect of being a light, well-balanced RWD car, and the engineers made that easier where they could as part of the marketing bullshit to tie it to the AE86.
If you go out to track day, you'll see most of these cars not drifting. If you go on organized drives on canyon roads, very few of them drift the hairpin turns, and there are often photographers standing by to get video of those few idiots wiping out. While I appreciate the skill and vehicle control of the professional drift drivers, when I was growing up that was considered "doing it wrong."
So don't worry if you don't drive that way. Put some sticky performance tires on it instead and enjoy taking curves like you're on rails.
