The OE manufacturers are really getting their butts kicked by pedal pulsation and noise complaints. Also, the ebrake stuff is so complicated and problematic on true disc setups that most OE systems use disc over drum, which is more expensive that drum itself.
Manufacturing is simple either way. The machines can assemble them in seconds whether we are talking about two shoes, 7 springs and a wheel cylinder, or a complete disc setup.
