Why is hand brakes stupid? Much better control/modulation, especially with hydraulic disc brakes.

Rim brakes either grip too hard or not enough, and sometimes don't work very well in rain, and need regular maintenance and replacement. Coaster brake supplemented by hand brakes for emergency stops just feels safer and more in control in traffic situations.
