2) At the track you will have a rolling start
3) Most Autocross tracks are designed so that the launch isn't important, and start timing about 20 feet in or after the first turn (otherwise AWD would have a huge advantage)
4) On the street, there is no reason for launching your car

3. True
4. True, but you can't blame people for wanting to have fun on a closed, back or country road. It's a sports car. People wanna do sporty shyt.
