I used the large size last week and had 48# of total weight. The luggage held up fine IMO being checked-in twice with Southwest.
There was a sign of indentation (blue became white where the crease was), but no physical damage other than cosmetic.
Not 100% sure what the craze is of not getting ABS unless you're a frequent flyer who may come upon a lot of abuse. Also with the carry-on size, most people would abuse that themselves unless the overheads were completely full.
Overall, I found the ABS to be fine. And at a lower cost, I feel that many people will appreciate the durability and savings.
Get quality luggage and save yourself from a big hassle!

The most breakpoint failures are wheels, zippers and handles. If you are not travelling much or travelling within continental united states, this would be sufficient.
If you want something that's more quality, I would choose Sam's Club member's mark luggage set for 140 usd. Best value/quality in business
Also, in your example of a $500 luggage set, I'm assuming it's including at least 3 pieces (carry-on, 24-25" checked bag, and 26-29" checked bag); it wouldn't make sense to compare a 2-piece (carry-on + 24" checked bag) set with a set that has 3 carry-ons and 2 checked bags. Maybe I've missed a deal post or two, but the traditional recommendations (e.g. Travelpro FlightCrew 5, Briggs & Riley, Away, Monos, Tumi, etc) are going to be near or over $1,000 for a 3-piece set. What you'll get for $500 is going to be a Samsonite, Travelpro Maxlite 5, etc), and people who recommend the more expensive stuff crap on Samsonite and low-end Travelpro bags just as much as they do on these Walmart deals.
I spend way more time than I should on slickdeals looking for luggage deals, so you'd genuinely be helping me if you could address the two issues I brought up:
1. In what situations will 95% of travelers (i.e. people who DON'T go on 50+ flights/year) find benefit in these bags that cost 5-10x as much?
2. What set are you seeing on sale for $500 that one could consider?
