The Z4/Supra aren't rally cars. They have more than enough power to go sideways without an e-brake. What demographic are you referring to?
The demographic that only uses the E-brake to park on an incline. BMWs/Supras are supposed to be driver's cars, so I'm disappointed to see them cater to customers that don't know how to, or want to use the E-brake as a driver's "tool."

Electronic E-brakes are just another control taken away from the driver, albeit a much more minor one than, say, manual transmissions.
