That’s not even mentioning that you can get hitch receivers that you attach to just about every car out there. Hell even back in the 50s it was common place to see a sedan with a tow hitch. Unless you’re driving a car that struggles to carry itself up a hill the only thing stopping you from putting a hitch on a Prius or Challenger is your willingness to buy a receiver hitch and bolt it to the frame.
Given the likely pricetag, you’re talking luxury cars and upwards. The owners don’t want a tow ball ruining their car’s look. They might also want to avoid the additional strain on the engine. I’m not sure how high end cars deal with low speed high torque situations, but I doubt Porsche does much testing with towing in mind.
