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.

Hydraulic ABS and Stability Control work just fine with drums for passenger cars too. My 2005 and 2009 Prius had rear drums, as does my 2005 Astro Van.
The 2023 VW ID.4 has rear drums as does a 2023 Toyota Tacoma.
