They did it so the ABS will work ... I guess they figured that most people
lock the diffs only when they're stuck (that said, I preferred driving the
4kq a friend once owned with BOTH diffs locked ... at higher speeds on the
road, it felt much more predictable and balanced.  This didn't work at all
on an autocross course, though ... the car was almost 2 seconds lower than
with open diffs!).
