No pun intended, but ABS for bicycles is a slippery slope. Together with suspension taking away vibrations and shocks, a dropper post to help descending, mega wide bars, 29" plus sized tires that roll over anything, electronic shifting, e-assist, GPS to not get lost… at what point does a bike ride stop being a bike ride? What will be next, auto pilot, or corner assist like in Mario Kart, so you can't fly out of a corner? Why bother going for a ride anymore?

Keep It Simple, Stupid.
