Wow, I am amazed.

There is one and only one reason for a proportioning valve.

That is to prevent the rear wheels from locking up when hard braking.

That 'is' the design principle of the thing.

What doe the acronym ABS mean?

I always thought it meant 'anti lock brake system'. Was I mistaken?

The proportioning valve is there to 'prevent' the brakes from locking
the rear wheels.

What does 'anti lock' mean? Could it mean to go against locking up or
to 'prevent' the brakes from locking the rear wheels or am I wrong?

Which has nothing to do with ABS, which I am reasonably sure
you already knew but are merely giving someone a deserved
rough time.

You're wrong. That is a proportioning valve. Or if
you insist on an acronym, a PV. Or even perhaps
RWALPV.

Dunno what the fraud laws are up there, but you wouldn't want
to try your argument as a sales pitch or even lawsuit defense
for calling the proportioning valve an anti skid brake system
or anti lock brake system and sell or advertise it as such
down in BSE land.
