I'm not sure I buy that one or the other proposition.
I'd say I'm a tech minimalist. ABS is technology. Minimalists who track their cars never seem to complain about having that butt-saving at their finger tips.
It's a simple fact, the faster you go, the more the danger element goes up, the less time you have to react, the more damage you can do to your equipment. The one constant is that all these cars are going faster and faster.
Perhaps it's the power of computers taking speed to another level but when you have a stock 991S going faster around the N-ring than the out-going 997.2 GT3 it's a new ballgame. As a business You can't give a guy with cash and little or no skill that kind of power without a heavy dose of technology. He'll wreck the engine or himself and if that sticks the buyers will think that the car is dangerous rather than them being the dangerous part of the equation. And all of these buyers want the fastest their money can get them, certainly the track guys who don't want to be the point-by guy.
