Therefore it is not an extra 4 sensors worth $500 each that can be broken is it?
And trust me, considering I rotate the wheels on my cars every 5000 km I have seen the hubs enough to know there are no extra sensors there.
Here is a picture to prove it

Break a factory sensor, it'll cost round about $300 each to replace. (Give or take a few hundred depending on the car). Doesn't matter if the sensor is in the rim, or in the ABS system.
