"They" are the market because we actually prefer functional brakes on our machines.
Plus, disc pads are super easy to change.
The cantilever rim brakes on my old acoustic utility bike are perfectly capable of locking up the wheels, and they almost certainly dissipate heat/resist fade better than the disk brakes on my e-bike do. The only actual advantages of discs are when you're riding a mountain or cyclocross bike in muddy conditions or if you've got fancy carbon rims that you don't want to be a wear surface; otherwise, there's nothing wrong with rim brakes.
Also, trying to change the disc brake pads without removing the wheel can be tricky due to the tight fit, and removing the rear wheel of an e-bike with a hub motor so the rotor isn't in the way is even more of a pain in the ass.
You forgot one small advantage: braking lol
Anything can be designed poorly, that's not the fault of the concept.
How much more braking force beyond locking up the wheel and doing an endo do you think you need?
Hmm, might wanna switch to semi-metallic or metallic pads if you're getting bad brake fade. They'll be louder and won't have as much bite as organic, but they work well in the wet, and they won't fade as much as organics.
