All I know is in 7 years landing in Tegucigalpa Honduras, noted as one of the most dangerous airports in the world if you google it, you can land shorter using manual braking with full anti skid using the highest normal short of max setting. auto brakes 4 was what the procedure said was required for landing. The 757 stopped very well and with that short runway with a cliff at the end and a hill on final you didn't want to not do it right. That was the only airport we were required to land with AB 4 set. Our manual told us that. I have never flown an Airbus but assume it is the same. I don't think they can certify an airliner that you can push on the brake pedals enough to disable the antiskid.
