Where I live I would prefer RWD. But it is fascinating to me that there are such strong opinions in both directions.

I think a big part of the push for AWD electric vehicles is that this usually means two motors and much, much stronger acceleration than just a single motor.
An AWD internal combustion vehicle would never have two gas-powered engines in it so AWD had some benefits and some drawbacks. AWD electric vehicles have more benefits and fewer downsides compared to their counterparts with only a single motor.
