I understand where you're coming from, but in general I don't think driver aids should be banned. The great majority of drivers don't really know what they're doing. They don't know how their actions with the steering wheel and the pedals might upset the balance of the car under the circumstances in which they're driving at that moment. Let alone that they look for the condition of the road surface or camber. These people, and therefore other motorists as well, benefit from driver aids. I'm aware there's also a downside to this. The people I've been referring to might think they're invincible and that when they make a mess of it the car will sort everything out, resulting in more dangerous driving. Still, I think it will save lives.
From a more experienced, committed, educated driver's point of view driver aids spoil the fun. Although it has to be said also this category can benefit from driver aids. When I would drive a boring long haul on motorways in bad weather conditions it would be nice to have stability control and traction control at my disposal. I don't mind these things on a car. However, one should be able to turn it off.
