How does ABS do more harm than good?  Not arguing, trying to learn the
limitations of a system I have on three cars.

Except on loose surfaces, where ABS can actually do more harm than good.
(Such as fresh snow or slush, or gravel, or [like the road immediately
outside our driveway] a steep gravel road often covered in fresh snow or
slush!)

ABS is nice enough, but once it starts acting up so that you can no
longer trust the brakes, and the easy/obvious repair attempts don't
work, then I say that I'd rather disable it than mistrust the brakes, or
dump thousands for new ABS parts into a car that cost less than that in
the first place.
