There are commercials, but the streaming performance was better for me.

Aren't all LF-As available via leases only? If so, I wouldn't be surprised if the launch number is hard limited, at least until the lease is up and they let you buy the car afterward.

How hard can it really be on the drivetrain in a RWD car? I like the idea of the computer knowing enough to limit you until the car has cooled, but limiting the total number of launches in a $400k car is quite the insult.

Honestly, I dont claim to be an awesome driver but is launching a car properly that hard? If you have traction control (set aggressively so it allows some wheel slip) shouldnt the 0-60 times be pretty consistent? I mean, with different tarmac conditions the launch RPM should be so widely variable that "set at 4K" shouldn't work perfectly on all surfaces... Or are the power these cars making so immense that its near impossible to get a good launch?
