I once owned a '77 Oldsmobile that seemed like 1WD.
As I think about it, don't most vehicles have one "drive wheel"? Most of the torque is sent to a preferred wheel -- I know that's old school, but without a limited-slip diff, what's the difference? ...the newer FWD cars I've driven tend to fight between the two in snowy/icy conditions.
Is the idea to save on weight and rotational losses?
I will admit, the most tractive effort I've had was with an AWD sedan with snow tires. In ice/snow SUVs were sliding all over the place while the power went to the wheel(s) that offered the most grip. In retrospect, it's not needed -- a FWD vehicle with snow tires could do the job nicely.
