Reality is mayo is pretty damn acidic on the PH scale even with the preservatives that the jared kind come with. It does not go bad as quickly as some think even if left warm. Bacteria really are not that tolerant of acidic stuff. I do see where your coming from though.
If it was left out for sometime though. I would figure the vinegar base would also soften the cabbage and any other veggies pretty quickly if left around, which would kill the crunch.

I actually like it after trying it. Now it did not satisfy my coleslaw desire but it was a good cabbage dish. I would of ended up annoyed though if I had ordered a pulled pork sandwich and it came with a side of this. As I find it almost required to put coleslaw on my pulled pork sandwich. Lack of a mayo base here would of been tragedy for sure. Especially if the pulled pork had a vinegar based BBQ sauce to boot.
