Which comes down to priorities. If you prioritize safety at all costs, for which there is a strong argument, then maybe you are OK with the computer occasionally correcting things to reel you in. If you want the fastest possible lap times, then certainly the computer, PDK etc. can outperform you.
If you just want a visceral experience over which you have 100% control - that's me - then no nannies, please.

Yep, I am the same way. I drove Laguna Secca and that was a bucket list track.
Feeling the tires squirm going through the corkscrew and nailing it just right was a thrill impossible to describe other than scary FUN. It was a real pucker factor to push hard there.
At the pits the guy next to me was in a new Cayman and he and the instructor were getting out just after I had parked. The instructor was explaining to the driver how the stability control had saved them from a spin in turn one. It is a really LONG corner. I just made it a double apex corner in my car. Fun day at the track.
