#1 Will likely change as volumes go up, but yeah, if you aren't being a weight weenie, standard brakes are crazy cheap.
#2 I dont see it - my disc bike has been just as easy as my non-disk
#3 What you said. That may make for slower adoption like #1
I see this like Di2 - no one
needs it, but if its cheap enough and they can solve the weight issue, why not have better brakes?
