Good analogy, but I doubt it.
Better analogy is electronic shifting vs cable. Pros all use disc and electronic. Higher end groupsets are/will all be electronic and disc brake.
However, mid-range and entry level will likely still support rim brakes (and cable shifting) for quite some time.
OTOH, I'm sure the concept of 'purity' is a consideration for a certain fraction of the cost-no-object market...
If you can understand why
purity might be a reason some folks like track bikes, you can probably see that mechanical shifting and rim brakes are likely to survive at the high end, even if it's just Campy.
