It feels like I can't drive more than a dozen hours without being in a situation where rapid acceleration is definitely a safety feature.

I guess I don't know what roads you are driving on, but as a counter example, class 8 trucks (tractor trailers, etc.) have abysmal acceleration but most of their drivers have gone millions of miles without even a fender-bender.

All cars have the equivalent of a 1000HP 4 wheel drive system, it's just that it's used for 60-0 rather than 0-60.
