inexperienced riders zipping around at power assisted speeds
I can't be bothered to find the link, but around my neck of the woods boomers on e-bikes is an increasingly common sight, as well as increasing their presence in accident statistics.
We won't get people off those e-bikes again (nor should we) so in principle, having a technological solution to a problem that technology created seems fine with me.

Car ABS scaled for bike disc brakes.... https://blubrake.it/product/
(Runs from an eBike battery)
Although I'm inclined to scoff, I suppose that inexperienced riders zipping around at power assisted speeds will need all the help they can get. Potentially sensible for e-cargobike too (assuming it works)
Edit: Bosch have a system too https://www.bosch-ebike.com/en/products/abs/
likewise VW/Audi: https://www.elektrobike-online.com/stadt-e-bikes/vw-stellt-neues-e-bike-vor-mit-abs/
