I've never seen a braking system that isn't split between front and rear (except really old cars that aren't split at all).

You're probably driving a diagonally split car right now.

Apparently RWD cars are still commonly front-rear.

Also, it's only a two-way split until the ABS pump, isn't it? You get separate lines from there to each of the wheels because how else would you brake an individual wheel, which is kinda required for ESP to work properly
