Default RDRS on Softails

In case HD introduces the RDRS technology to the softail, is it a very strong reason to upgrade?

I'd seriously consider it. But the one feature I'd want to turn off is the linked braking system.
Hill Hold, advanced ABS, traction control. Stuff I'd like.
I'm not sure I'd care for it for 1000$ upgrade though, with the freight charge ontop of it.
If they introduce it as a core feature on shipped bikes for the 2021 MY, then I'd be interested.
Otherwise, Im fine with just standard ABS. ABS is the one feature I want. I wont look at any bike without it, but RDRS? Nice if the bike is shipped with it stock without a huge bloated price increase, if not. I don't care to pay extra for it.

I'd definitely consider it if it didn't effect price. I had traction control on my previous bike and it was nice for riding in the rain.
