The other unmentioned reason not to put disc brakes on a dropout/QR fork is that front disc braking torque has
been known to rotate the FW out of the dropout with catastrophic potentiality to ones head/face there. Not for nothing the
devising of through axles for disc wheels where the axles are in a complete circle of enclosing metal.
