O2 sensors are one of the most important sensors on the car. Air/fuel ratios can not be guestimated for all driving conditions. Now if you drive your car full throttle all the time like an on/off switch then you might be able to disable them, but we don't.

I disabled mine, and it runs better than any O2 equipped car I've driven. And the stock narrowband sensors aren't quite as important as you think, they're very limited in their ability to sense air/fuel ratios. Imagine a coolant sensor that could only tell if the car was hotter or colder than 180*, but not by how much. Sort of shitty...
To just diable the sensors is trouble, but if you disable them and tune the ecu properly to give the desired air/fuel ratios at all efficiency points, you've gone far above what any narrowband could hope to achieve.
