Some folks may not be strong enough to consistently apply the force needed to make mechanical brakes pwerform to their max when needed. Just not efficient.
Surely, Henry Ford did some research on this. As vehicles becam heavier and larger improved braking systems were needed.

This is a good point ... the strength of the driver (or lack thereof) issue.
