Ok, this isn't the case.
Proper threshold braking with and without ABS do NOT create more heat. The danger of ABS is the hammering of a hot rotor.

I know the advantages of ABS, but the danger is not additional heat.
If you are talking about using the brakes more, then yes, you're right, using the brakes more does create more heat. It has nothing to do, specifically with the threshold of ABS
