I understand what your saying, but the soldier analgoy is pushing it. Motorsports isn't a life or death affair. I'll leave it at that.

I stated there are significant advantages to certain platforms. Yes I've competed in open track. My previous car was a 2ZZGE MR-S. The point I was trying to make was that learning the merits of an FF platform gives you a wider grasp on different methods of car control. Like I said before, FF is more forgiving to novice drivers, but it takes a skilled one to make it go fast. Isn't that why we do this hobby? To further improve our skill set? Now im not defending all FF owners here, nor am I for or against certain platforms, but to answer your original question more plainly, some drivers choose to modify and race an FF platform simply based on the feel and handling characteristics. Not always to be the fastest. Its a layout that suits them. Who are we to judge.
