Because the future of triathlon bikes is disc brakes, not rim brakes. I've ridden my P2 for 7 years. My next bike will be ridden 7-8 years too. 10 years from now, bikes will not be rim brakes.

Right....
As to what happens 10 years from now? Who knows. Caliper brakes are cheaper and work just fine for 95% of the population. I seriously doubt that every road and tri bike is going to come with disc brakes 10 years from now. Of course, that all depends if manufacturers actually settle on one standard (like through axle) or keep changing them, just like every BB standard out there these days. And if 10 years from now it is the standard.... guess what? It's going to be cheaper and you aren't going to have to spend $$$$ on a high end bike to get one as they'll be on entry-level bikes.
