If the next-gen Civic comes out in 2 years, then I agree. Otherwise we might be looking at 2011 (2012 MY), which is the federally-mandated deadline for all new cars in the U.S. to have ESC.

Honda is not alone in thinking that only "rich" people want safety (generalizing of course, and rich means people looking at higher models not people with more money)Another common problem is that the "rich" are assumed to be short (sunroofs take up a lot of headroom and the darn things are standard on almost all higher end Hondas - only reason I did not buy an ex-l).

No, they are not alone but they have less company all the time. Consider that ESC will be standard for MY 2009 on: Elantra SE and Touring (list prices starting around $17k)
Impreza 2.5i (list price starting around $17k)
Rabbit and Jetta (list price starting around $16k)
Sonata (list price after general rebate starting around $17k)
Sportage and Tucson (list prices after general rebate starting under $15k)
And ESC is widely available on inexpensive cars like the Corolla and SX4. I am probably forgetting some.
What is all the more galling is how Honda likes to tout safety. Sure, have all the safety gear you want... as long as you have over $20k to spend on your Civic.
