You said drums would not respond fast enough to the ABS modulation, but it's not exactly the case. No wonder it's still widely used in commercial trucks and buses in my country. Sure a more conservative bias among fleet managers here may also lead to a demand for drum brakes, but if drums were really unsuitable for ABS modulation they would've been effectively replaced by discs. Maybe the fact that most trucks and buses resort to air brakes, it may also lead to a better responsiveness to ABS modulation, even with drum brakes all-around.
