I'm astonished that disc brakes haven't made an appearance on high end road bikes to date. Or maybe I am missing something here. Enlighten me.

That's why wet weather pads exist...salmon kool-stops....best <$20 upgrade you can perform IMO. They do foul easily though due to the stickier sompound, but that's a few passes with a flat file.
