Obviously every carmaker calibrates ABS differently. And price point comes with that ie. Toyota VS. Lexus (usually).

Also people don't consider the physics of it. From my limited experience with ABS (not my car but a previous Corolla my parents had), the harder you press from higher speeds it will really pulsate. Which is a give-in cause you are stopping from higher speeds hence higher percentage of wheel lock-up.

And like most electric nannies, they can't defy the laws of physics as much as many would like to think. Even carmakers. Marketing, gotta love it. I hear some people don't like traction control and stability control cause it cuts off the power too much or holds back, so if they are out of control or slipping they can't get safely out of a situation or intersection. or out of the way of a car whatever the situation. No thank you.
