Maintenance
I wonder how many folks will bother with bleeding the brakes every year, especially those who are not avid cyclists. Seems to me that lots of people ride with chains that are not maintained. What are the implications down the line. I do not know.
At least with rim brakes you can see whether the pads need replacement. Disc fluid has to be changed as a matter of yearly maintenance. Wow. I hope these manufacturers have made real durable brakes and fluids. Perhaps not an issue for the conscientious but just another headache.
