Unless you're after the more expensive models, a lot of security features were not available as a standard in cars from ~2007. You can still easily find cars without parking sensors or cameras today.
Sure you can drive without them. But however capable you think you are - you're safer with them. I'm not sure why this always have to turn into "I can drive without them successfully" dick-measuring contest. Yes, we all can. But nobody has x-ray vision that will allow them a kid behind their car in a driveway.
