Without experiencing it first hand it is hard to say for sure but the general description you give sounds like a fair description of what I have experienced as the ABS kicks in.

I grew up when you controlled a skid by steering into it and pumping the brakes. I thought I was pretty good at it and enjoyed being able to trigger the start and stop of a four-wheel drift with a fair bit of precision using the steering and accelerator. Pumping the bakes was just part of the package of what it meant to be a skilled driver.

Of course ABS changed all that. I felt special in may ability to effectively pump the brakes to control a skid and limit stopping distance. ABS took all that away. The engineering says the ABS control system can do a much better job of it. Applying the brake selectively with millisecond timing. My roll is reduced to stomping on the brake. That doesn't make me any happier.

And it feels odd to be having the pedal pumping itself under my foot. Another useful and valuable human skill, a way for a person to set themselves apart and earn a living, reduced to an anachronism.

I see the same thing when I go shopping. Used to be cashiers were required to punch in prices. Many had to pass a nine-key speed and accuracy test. And if you could you were more valuable to an employer and made more money. In a day when minimum wage was close to $2 a nine-key trained person could make $.50 to $1 an hour more. Big money in that day.

Laser scanners did away with that. Now pretty much anyone above room temperature can run a cash register. And cashiers make no more than any other employee.
