I'm guessing you live somewhere flat. When I lived in Houghton, MI, there were sometimes places I couldn't get to because I didn't have enough traction to climb the hills. Driving was otherwise reasonably safe, I just didn't have enough grip in my 2WD van. Unfortunately, a lot of people have unreasonable expectations of what 4WD can do, and they get themselves in trouble. When we had a snowstorm here in the Seattle area earlier this week, I counted a lot more SUVs in the ditch than passenger cars. My guess is the SUV drivers were driving with less caution due to their "superior" vehicles, or maybe went out when passenger car drivers decided to stay home.
