No ABM system will stop 100% of a swarm attack, always be some leakers.

But what they do is plant uncertainty in the mind of a attacker, they have no idea what % of missiles will get shot down but have to assume the worse making missile targeting a lot harder due to uncertainty of a successful strike, forcing them to assign 2 or more warheads per target reducing the number of targets they can hit and the ABM system could get lucky and get a 100% rate on certain targets making target destruction even more uncertain.
It's designed to stop attacks before they happen.
