When I first got my El Camino it had the typical peg leg rear end, one wheel drive. It sucked in the snow or ice. I finally added limited slip and it does great in slick conditions now. I used to wonder why all cars did not have limited slip from the factory until I drove it in the rain. Do not ever think you can accelerate much while going around a corner in the rain or slick conditions.
Now after many years of driving it in the rain, I can have fun. It is REAL easy to hang the tail out but it would be real easy to loop it as well. I have never spun it, not even once but I have had the tail step out on me going around corners. With both tires spinning it has zero lateral traction.
So the answer to why all rear wheel cars don't have limited slip is because you have to know how to drive. With modern traction control it is no problem. Not so much with 1980s (really 1960s) drive train technology.
