All architecture/design decisions have pros and cons. You pick one then do what you can to minimize the cons.

Same reason a Cayman is inherently more stable than a 911 or a turbo 6 cyl maybe better choice than an 8.

The RS3 is a wonderful car, I've driven one. It's just not the car I'd pick for a track day if I had other options.
I agree, I'd love the RS3 for every day driving and the occasional fun mountain drive and longer road trip. But I would not want it for a track day. There's much more fun cars with more driver involvement than the RS3.

There were a few test articles of the RS3 vs the M2 and most of the reviewers picked the M2 over the RS3.
