Discs are treated like a must-have just because they look flashy to people who don't actually know anything about bikes—doesn't matter if it's Shimanov XTR or Pevecov ŽBLJ, it's all just eye candy to them. Meanwhile, V-brakes are considered "outdated," though honestly, who's even riding those kinds of bikes anymore anyway?
Unfortunately, you can't reason with a huge chunk of people. It’s impossible to prove to them that when you're spending that kind of money, it's much smarter, safer, and higher quality to go with a V-brake rather than some shitty disc setup.
