While pros ride what they are sponsored to ride, the impetus to stop making frames rim brake compatible comes from consumers overwhelmingly buying disc brake bikes.

​​​​The vocal minority which bemoans the change just does not buy that many new carbon fiber bikes. Rim brakes aren't going away, there will always be retro stuff enthusiasts and a cottage industry to cater for them, just like you can still get quill stems and square taper cranks and some swear by them.
