I travel for work, sometimes quite a bit. Drive all kinds of different cars, SUV's, whatever they give me. Drive them in lots of different places, road conditions, weather, etc.Absolute Bull Shit!!!!
One thing I know for sure - like you, I do not like ABS systems. They are designed for those that don't have any kind of feel for using a brake pedal.
For me, it's about the front/rear bias pure and simple. 99.9% of the time, I can make a stop faster without ABS.
