If you ever had the misfortune of driving a 50's era car with PS, you would know why sports cars didn't have it. They advertised cars with female models turning the steering wheel lock to lock with one finger with the car not moving. There was absolutely no feedback or road feel... it was effortless all right but totallly dead.
