With slippery chrome steel rims, I can understand that. How about with
aluminum rims? (Are rod brakes ever used with aluminum rims?)

Clearly this really was on them, ie they should be braking for the
conditions, not there ego as my old commuter isn’t bothered by rain in
terms of stopping distances, at least for routine if slightly sharp stops
at lights, I’m sure the tires would have slightly less grip in the wet,
lifting the rear though possible is unlikely due to the weight and rear
weighted ie panniers with stuff.
