The fact everyone wants fully integrated cabling now has also been a big factor in the lack of top tier rim brake options these days - the routing through the bars/stem/steerer that’s required is usually so complicated it just wouldn’t work with cables... there would be so many twists and turns that the brakes just wouldn’t really work. This is one of the benefits of hydro.
