I believe you would have a valid point if they performed the same or worse than discs. But weight penalty aside, and having two disc and two rim bikes, I know that disc performance, especially in wet, is far superior. It’s a better mouse trap and consumers have voted with their feet. If they truly sucked or were equivalent to rim brakes, thoughtful people would probably walk away.
