Sorry, but that's not true. The ABS system is less accurate and you get more false alarms. The advantage of the ABS system is that it is cheaper, less complex, and avoids additional "stuff" in the wheels.

For example, tires over time all lose pressure. With the ABS system you will never be informed of low pressure as long as all the tires lose pressure at similar rates, e.g., if, over a period of months, the tires all lose 60% of their air pressure, the ABS system will think everything is just fine, since the relative rotational speeds of the wheels has not changed.
