They absolutely could have just added wider clearance if companies
wanted to...
That's my point. So saying "Discs allowed wider tires" seems inaccurate
at best.

But this wasn’t what consumer wanted ie they wanted disks in many ways

Good V-brakes REALLY outperform disks under all conditions that I've used
them in including heavy rain. Disks are there for one reason. To make you
buy a new frame and fork and special wheels.
bikes as being consumer driven. ISTM instead that within the space of a few years, if you wanted to buy a bike, you pretty much had to buy a bike with disc brakes.You are correct about this.
As I've said often, none of my riding mates ever complained about their caliper brakes. Most folks are still using caliper brakes. It's the folks who bought new bikes - for other reasons, BTW - who are now using discs.--
