They're found on country bikes - where added stopping power is vital under load.

Road bikes on the other hand are meant for fast riding and disk brakes don't offer any advantage so that's why road bikes still have old fashioned caliper brakes. They work well enough and there is no compelling need to reinvent the brake.
