Can't get over the idea of rear drum brakes

I can't seem to get over the fact that some of these bikes have rear drum brakes. From what I've read online about drums vs. discs, drums have a disadvantage of being an older technology, having less stopping power, don't work very well at all if/when they heat up, and do not work if they get wet. I mean...this list must make sense because everything is discs now, even mountain bikes.

Those with bikes that have rear drums, please tell me your experience with them. Am I over-thinking this?
