For an integrated brake, I find the rear to be a bit wooden. I have yet to be able to lock it up and trigger the ABS.

how many miles are on you bikes? new brakes are going to seem weaker until the first layer is worn off and have a complete bond with the disc.
be easy on the brakes, brakes need to be bed-in to gain full performance of the pad.
just like in car brake pad. many people dont bed-in their brake pads
google this: bed- in brakes- or break-in brakes
there is a proper way
I only use my back breaks to slow down a little.
never had a problem they work just fine.
I liked LBS's answer and can only add that, the only way to know for sure WHY would be to ask the engineer that specified that rear brake.
His/her consideration may have been:
cost, standardization, stopping power...(?)
