Hey, I like drum brakes. Cleaner than disks, more reliable, and last longer. Disks are better for mountain driving or for tracks but for normal street driving in most the country I consider them an unwanted hassle. I curse them every time I have to clean my whitewalls, which is frequent because disks are filthy things.
On top of that it's getting hard to find quality parts; the past few years I've got into the habit of carrying around a laser thermometer due to calipers sticking so often these days. It's odd since disks aren't new tech (as you point out) and I never had any great trouble with dragging brakes 20, 30 years ago. It's just recent. I suspect the manufacturers are cheaping out on quality nowadays like everyplace else.
