Because braking half the time slows you down faster than skidding. You can also steer while braking heavily in a modern car with ABS. Do that in a car with regular brakes and you'll just slide.

Your experience was atypical; it is possible that the system in your truck was broken.


ABS was optional in the Aspire.
