Separating the two would entail two sensors per wheel on an ABS/ASC bike, adding unnecessary cost & complication.

ASC/ASR stops you falling off by spinning the back wheel, stops you spraying dirt over passers by and might, if backing off the throttle is the right thing to do, get/keep you moving.
TC decides the best way to get you moving and helps you do it.
