Agreed. I can't remember the last time I triggered my ABS for more than a brief moment in anything but wintery conditions.
The X has excellent brakes, and has been tested to stop 60-0 in about 130 feet which is as good as if not better than many high-dollar sport sedans and quite a few cheap sports cars.
If your ABS is triggering prematurely or pulsing at an improper/sub-optimal rate, then you might have a problem to report, possibly a defective G-sensor. But if you're bitching that the ABS makes for long stops, well, that's just normal. You're already exceeding the available grip and you would need a considerable distance to stop anyway if you were to modulate the brakes yourself. The ABS does it far better than you can but the rapid on-off-on-off-on-off means that there's a good bit of "off" time which extends your stopping distance. Nothing you can do about that and it's how they all work.
Now slow the hell down and/or back off.
