I don’t personally ‘get’ the faff thing with cable disks – it might depend how steep the hills are where you’re riding, but my commuter does ~100 miles a week, every week, and has done for 2 years. I’m on the first set of pads, and other than tweaking the pads in once every 4 months, its had no maintenance at all.
on the other hand, my xc bike has had its brakes bled twice, and my dh bike 3 times, in the same time period. Both do far fewer miles\hours than the road bike. I personally find bleeding far more of a faff than twiddling an adjuster wheel, but each to their own.
Still, on a 2 grand road bike, I would expect hydros (if disk braked) these days
