I think if the UCI allowed 12# bikes we wouldn't see discs now, but it is either add ballast (lead) or fill that gap with other stuff.
My view on the electronics is that I'm already not a fan on electronic shifting, Power Meters, HRM or GPS or RADIOS. Adding a computer for disc modulation is just further down the slippery slope. Knowing how to take a corner, how to brake, when to attack, how hard to pedal as well as how to setup the bike (light vs sturdy) is all part of the sport I want to keep.
