Default Electronic Limited Slip Differential retrofit?

Now that electronic LSD units have become the norm across numerous performance cars, has anyone learned of this being an option for our cars?

It would save a tremendous amount of labor to put a mechanical LSD in...

You already have what’s been called a cheap man’s LSD, as the traction control will stop a spinning wheel by braking.

So far I am not aware of a clutch type LSD that can be engaged electronically for our type of diffs, and I would doubt one would be made as it would be so much more expensive to have one developed on top of the price for current systems, not viable imho.

Next to that the current ones availbe are already very good.
