That's because we've hit a natural limit. You can only apply a braking force equal to the static friction coefficient multiplied by your car's weight before you lose traction; given that deceleration is force divided by mass, this means that cars all generally have a similar "ideal" braking distance. With the advent of ABS, every car can execute an emergency stop that is close to ideal - the better the system, the closer. The big difference-makers nowadays are tires and downforce, because they act directly on that equation I referenced: downforce increases the effective weight of your car, whereas better tires (softer/stickier compound, wider contact patch to a point, etc) increase your static friction. The few cars these days that stop from 60 mph in under 100 feet are usually performance cars with huge track tires and aerodynamic downforce aids.
