Let me say that I'm not against ABS since I also see the advantage from it.
But 50 / 60 years ago I've seen the men riding with their mc's in the winter on snow (in Germany at that time nearly nobody had a car) and it was impressive for me as a little boy to look how well they did.
What I'm against is that with all that modern gimmicks the young generation more and more is putting their brain asleep, just like you said above. And I'm also against telling them all and every time that all this is the solution for every mistake that could happen but avoided with it.
Make the youngster learn the real way to do first and more than this keep them using their brain and get real skills.
I totally agree with @Aufitt
