The absence of the ELSD on the convertible is also driven by marketing.

GM knows that 99.9% of the buyers in the market for a convertible have no plans to ever track their car. Heck, the majority of tracks won’t allow convertibles on them without some form of approved roll protection.

As Gunkk pointed out, the engineering costs to make the ELSD fit around the added bracing isn’t justified when the vast majority of convertibles will never drive a single lap on a track.
