Why would you compare disc brakes to cars? Why not compare them to the rim brakes they are replacing. An order of magnitude more complicated to maintain

I've gone far into the depths of hell trying to properly set up a pair of cantilever brakes to be performative. Disk brakes any day.

This! I thought I'd never have to see cantilever brakes again until turns out they were used on kids bikes so had to deal with that. Luckily my child has now grown to a slightly larger bike with hydraulic disk brakes so life is back to being easy on that front.
