I am inclined to agree with you.
Otherwise, I think the future is all disk brakes, especially consumer bikes. It creates great aftermarket parts and servicing prospects. With rim brakes, the field was kinda stale, with disks there is technology advances being made which means people will replace working disks to get the latest technology, while there was little to improve on the rim brakes, except looks or maybe better rubber on the pads. Now you have pistons, hydraulic brake lines, fluid, I don't quite know what is in the brake levers, probably some pistons too... engineers are happy, retail is happy...
