I'm confused by which part of the conclusion you thought was silly. It seems like you reached the exact same conclusion than the video did, and I don't think it's at all obvious to most people that you are still supposed to threshold brake with ABS.

The silly/unfortunate part is that most people can’t threshold brake in emergency situations.
It’s like saying “Doing the perfect thing every time is best”. Which is true but not useful.
And they teach you about progressive braking in the first hour of learning to ride. Then they keep repeating it all the time. Every rider on the road knows that they should do this. It’s the execution that is hard.

Yeah and that’s exactly what the video says as well: that people can’t consistently threshold break in emergency situations, which is why ABS is so valuable.
