It's also for MTs only and MTs are now fairly rare in the US these days. As for traction control, it's really not a problem if you think about it. If one takes off "normally" (even w/o TRACS, which most cars now have) you don't spin the wheels on any car, not even during rain or snow.
I have a modified RWD 745T (auto trans) and even with its 2,600 rpm high stall speed torque convertor (standard, stock rear diff) wheel slip isn't a major problem on dry roads or wet roads if I accellerate normally (not floored).

From what I'd gather about the FWD, MT unit, it's something that only a serious racer would consider, not your "average guy" who drives the car daily.
