>>1881363you seem to be fishing for one-off reasons to "refute" disc brakes like you are bruce lee fighting off a group of bad guys one at a time, rest assured no one is coming for your rim brakes (actually I take it back we are but we're gonna do it while ur asleep muhahahahahahah)
there's no one reason to go for discs, there are a variety of considerations that might cause you to desire them though. also there's other reasons to go with rims, it's a free country
the overheating thing is actually wrong, heat is an issue in bicycle brakes, it's just not *usually* an issue for *most* people in *most* conditions but I can see you're a flatlander
for me, there's two big fundamental why discs have appeal:
1. they use hydraulic systems which are low maintenance (unless you crash or buy fucking sram), and far superior user experience. minimal friction/flex losses, you don't need big strong macho man hands to apply the full range of pressure you might want in different situations, you just wear the pads down and replace them when they're eaten, no adjusting needed. if you're not using hydraulic discs you shouldn't be using discs at all and you were scammed
2. the amount of perceived effort to get the best braking barely differs from wet or dry, so the only change is the surface you're riding on, this is a much more user friendly experience because you don't have to guess how much handle you need to grab and correct/modulate with 200ms of latency as you wait for the pad to squeegee the rim and decide it's going to eventually bite in and start slowing you down, you don't really realize how annoying this is until the latency is gone, because you're used to it
and indirectly because it "allows" wider rims > tubless setups, though of course you'll say but you could use different rim calipers, sure that's true but at this point you'll need to convince me of why that would be so much better than just going with a hydraulic road groupsets that have become the default
