Klampers are held in high regard by the alt-cycling niche for their build quality and performance. Your idea that the everyone needs or wants "SRAM's latest hydraulic brakes widely acknowledged to have the best braking feel on the market" is myopic and self-centered. People want or need different things for different reasons. $500 mechanical disc brakes aren't any more outlandish than $600 cassettes.

"Buying overpriced Klampers that work with your shifters is silly, instead you should spend $1400 on new shifters and new brakes (and probably $900 on new cassette and chain and crankset)" - Nonsensical.
