Wow solving a problem by throwing the problem out and not fixing it seemingly over the cost of one brands brake bleed kit (which is quite nice and while expensive quite well worth it if you have hydraulic brakes and want an easier time bleeding them but tons of other options exist). Like I said and have said and will likely continue saying hydraulic brakes are not a pain or a problem they require very little maintenance very infrequently (aside from pads and rotors which is common for all disc brakes) and you really only need to buy a bleed kit once and fluid every so often. Maybe a bit more for DOT brakes because they are hydrophilic but not very often. I have yet to replace the fluid in my commuter bike in 4300 miles and will likely go another 4300 miles and probably still not need to replace it but will probably have replaced some cables and housing at that point.

I dunno I like to try and fix a problem if it can be fixed rather than spending more money and still not fix the problem but just pave over it. I mean if the brakes truly are terrible cheap junk from say Alibaba and his 40 thieves or something like that than yes maybe cable actuated are the way to go but buying new everything over a bleed is a little odd.
