The brake based system is great if the traction control is programmed for "get me up this snowbank" and not "prevent me from being an idiot"

There was an episode of Dirt Every Day where Fred and co. took a Jeep Renegade(?), or whichever the small one is, off-roading there were some great scenes of the traction control in action. Basically by spinning the dial to rocks the traction control knows to use ABS to approximate how one would work the brakes with a torsen.
