They didn't swap wheelsets with different diameters and wildly different
width tires in a matter of seconds, or at all, with caliper, canti or
v-brakes.

Arguing that one brake stops better than another in all possible situations
with all possible riders is a not likely an argument worth making,
regardless of the brake that you'd represent.

The ability to swap wheel sizes and tire widths in ways that was not
previously available to me was not my original focus in moving to disc
brakes, but, it has become a great feature, when selecting the right bike
frame, to be able to maintain fewer complete bikes with an extra wheelset
or two, to be able to satisfy a wider range of riding situations.
