Noone has the correct outlook on braking choice. Same goes for pedals, saddle height, fork length, frame type, etc.. They do it because they dont need it. Not everyone needs a front brake but for general bike riding aka XC then yes, its best to have at least a front brake. I was just being a smartass, thats all.
