There is a good reason for them not getting much coverage, too. Remembering the drums on the front of some of the "Krate" Stingray's from Schwinn, and how Sachs tried to make them stop efficiently. The technology for disks is already present, weight can be overcome as can overheating of a disk.

I watched the gnashing of teeth and wailing about disks on all the dirt bikes back in the early 80's, now you only find a drum brake on a low end kids motorcycle, or one of the multitude of Chinese knock-offs, that show up with different nameplates.

Looking at the new line ups from the manufacturers this year, disks are here and are going to get more and more use/acceptance, whether we like it of not. Luckily, we can always fit the brakes we want and ride as much as we need. That is better than fussing, about what we cannot change, all the time. (not you, BP, not you, at all)
