My opinion there was more about the general state at least among the big brands. They have fewer and fewer rim-brake models. As you go to the highest-end models, it is becoming even more rare. In their carbon models, for example, it does not seem that Trek, BMC, and Specialized road bikes are anything but disc. I think they may make alloy models with rim-brakes but not sure. I suspect more and more brands will do the same thing,
