Sirebel covered it very well. The other thing to consider is that assists work together to make things worse. Some of them also teach you bad driving habits, so that when you turn them off you feel like you can't drive. I recently wrote a blog about it here The Problem With Assists and Tilt A (Tilt A also ads to the problem). I sometimes put all assists on high with Tilt A just to cruise through a mandatory Time Trial. I sometimes come close to steering off-track at the entrance of a corner simply because the car brakes early to such a ridiculous degree. I'm expecting it to carry more speed, suddenly I'm over-steering. It's amazes me how many time the brakes go on when I'd normall be flat out in every car. Of note; Zimfrank, who is always a Group A WTTT regularly uses SA high. Makes sense in a Time Trial when there's no bots to pass. However even then it can cause problems. Like at every Porsche track (less the Dynamic circuit). SA will make you take bad race lines there that make very poor use of the track and kill your time. Also many Nurburgring tracks where it wants to you drive in the middle of the track for the 1st 4 corners! Notice how the bots just GIVE you the inside line there on lap 1 of every race?? Every lap after that they drive it right. SA will limit the first corner of many tracks on lap 1. This is another BIG reason that I turned it off, as lap 1 is when you make most of your passes.
