I agree, in most modern cars the setup is just to reduce the oversteer rather than go into oversteer - sometimes it is so slight that most drivers don't even notice. If they oversteer they think it is unstable, which is kind of true I suppose.
If they hit the brakes something like ASC will make sure they avoid the wall / fence / ditch by preventing oversteer via adjustng the brakes using the ABS system.
