Default Electronic Yaw Alarm?

Part of me wonders just how much value it would add to have an alarm
go off just when someone is under stress turning to final at low
altitude where it's causing them to try to skid the ship around.

I'd be stating the obvious that pilots should be better trained to not
get themselves into such situations to begin with.
