That's fine for you, all reasonably valid rationalizations.

Some people prefer discs for equally valid rationalizations: They
provide better braking power with equal if not better modulation, they
work better in the rain, snow/ice, and muck (none of which are exclusive
to off-road riding). That said, No one is going to agree with your
implication that they provide no benefit to anyone except those pushing
performance to the extremes. Disc brakes simply work better - that you
may not experience that in your riding style is specific to you.
Anyone who is not using disc brakes, and is still using caliper brakes
or V brakes or center-pull brakes or U brakes or drum brakes, is
standing in the way of human progress.
Good grief. What one person does or doesn't do isn't standing in the
way of anything unless he's standing where other people want to be.

Just read the New Yorker piece on Grant Peterson which a
friend mailed to me. Your comment reminded me of Mr
Peterson, ascribing Deeper Meaning to mere bicycle parts,

From my 1965 Weinmann sidepulls, through Mafac Racers, then
Mafac Competitions, on to Universal Super 68 which I tossed
aside for the latest deep blue anodized Modolo Pros, which I
then sold to acquire the modern aero DiaCompe AGCs before I
returned to classic aesthetics with NOS early 1970s
Campagnolo Record, they all worked just fine. I have never
suffered a lack of braking power. Leg power, yes, just not
braking power.

And now in my dotage I'm back to a Swiss Weinmann front
sidepull caliper on my fixie. La plus ca change and all
that. There is no deeper meaning.
Truth is that I don't even remember what type of rim brakes I had on
all my earlier two wheelers. All I know ids that if I kept them clean
and adjusted they stopped me just fine. So now I have disks because
other than drum brakes, it's what I must have on the Catrike. Mine are
cable operated and I'm fine with that.

That said, if I was ever to go back to a two wheeler (not likely) I'd
go for disks... I don't know why, maybe it's just because I don't like
shiny rims.
