Maybe an earlier generation of ABS system is more novice-friendly than the modern ones. At least in my country, ABS only became mandatory in 2014, so it's still often considered too complex by many DIYers. I have actually seen some folks removing the ABS in older cars instead of fixing it, while others remove even the hydroboost on simpler cars originally not fitted with ABS. Another makeshift that I have seen quite often is adapting a "mechanical ABS" more commonly found on small-displacement Chinese motorcycles.
