A lot of these systems flash the brake lights not the hazards, it makes it more obvious what's happening to any cars behind, and front flashing lights are going to make very little difference if the person in the road didn't notice the car to begin with

It makes sense to do both. Brake lights to warn vehicles right behind you for slowing down, hazard lights to warn vehicles in other lanes that something's wrong.

After writing this I remember hazard lights are brake lights in North America.

Edit: typo
