Someone please explain how this is "launch control" in any way. This is no different than loading the stall in any automatic and releasing the brake with traction-control on. Every automatic car in the U.S. has "launch control" by this definition.

This does make me wonder too, but certainly one feature of LC is self regulation of RPM when your foot is on the floor. If you did this without LC, you'll just spin up, burnout, redline, blow the car apart etc...
Especially when you're talking 28i, 30d, 35d, 35i...
