Why would you bother with all that revs/clutch biting point/hand on the handbrake and hold and release and balance the power and clutch ...... and off you go up the hill when some gizmo can do it all for you?
And the bean counters will love you 'cus it's just bolt a bit on and connect it up to the electrics without all that faff (i.e. cost) with brackets and cables and the like.
And the recovery firms love it 'cus if when it packs up it locks the wheels solid you're well and truly stuck (been there, done that).
And the dealers love it 'cus the replacement parts are £££'s and then there's the labour at £££££££££££'s and the electronic wizardry to set it up and make it all work at more £££££'s (fortunately mine was under warranty but I saw the internal invoice
).
As my old Physics teacher used to say....QED.
