XHR and fetch were in a "old thing is deprecated, new thing is not ready" sort of state for the longest time.
XHR always supported aborting requests, along with progress callbacks. Also, IE11 doesn't support fetch, so you'd need to bring in a polyfill for it and for Promise there. (And FormData, and Blob and etc, if we're talking full spec compliance)
Considering this history, I wouldn't dismiss an XHR-based implementation so fast.
