They are forgiving/ easy to learn 2. They are cheap (cheap to buy, cheap to fix, cheap on gas...)

You are conflating "small" and "cheap". I like small. I like cheap too, got my Ninjette this way. But what I feel I need now is a small, well equipped new bike. By all means, ABS and TC should be an option; when this option is not available, it doesn't affect you, but it cuts off the manufacturer from a slice of market populated with people like me. I don't want a bigger bike, I want this bike with options for which I am willing to pay extra.
