As long as all 4 are able to lock up at the same time in a uniform order then you have good brakes.
Many cars, by hitting the pedal as hard as you want don't have the ability to maximise the braking system, or lock them up.

I agree, and would emphasize "uniform order". Brakes that are correctly adjusted will not lock any wheel until all four are ready to lock up. A skidding tire provides very little stopping power.
