If by steering control you mean the ability of the car to turn.. It is directly linked to the amount of friction or grip your car can generate with the road. A vehicles grip depends on road surface, the vehicle's weight and the compound of your tire, and it is therefore fixed. When you steer you are using the grip of the car to be able to turn, the harder (and faster) you turn the more grip you essentially "use". When you accelerate you are also "using" the grip to push the car forwards, again, the more you accelerate the more you use the grip. When you steer and accelerate at the same time you are using the grip for two jobs at the same time, therefore your amount of grip generated is "depleted" faster and your car slides along spinning your wheels.
If you have a front wheel drive car and you accelerate fast then all the weight will transfer to the rear wheels and the front tires will lose the weight it had so the tires, which are powering the car, will overpower the steering and make it extremely touchy. On a rear wheel drive car the quicker you accelerate the more weight you get on the rear tires and because the front tires aren't "driving" you don't have the same steering problems.
