It doesn't feel like a rotor warp but rather feels a lot like a mechanical feedback because it can feel pretty rough depending on the car model.

The pulsating seems to release the brakes intermittently and helps me steer when braking at the same time over loose surfaces. Before on 80's cars without ABS if I lock the front wheels, there's no way I can steer the car.
Yes - I'm familiar with ABS pulsating

I mentioned a different type pulsating - pulsating due to warped or glazed rotors - fairly common (especially for those that often brake late / hard)
