Dry brakes are cheaper to build. Have to compete for customers who will purchases only the least expensive even though it isn't the cheapest in the long run.
Dry can fade as they can get too hot without an oil bath to cool them. Dry are noisier. Dry can be affected if water or mud gets into a poorly designed braking system. Oil bath are sealed.
Gear lube dumped in a wet clutch/wet brake system ruins the fibre friction surfaces. Hard to believe but it happens.
Years ago we didn't know any better and usually got most loads stopped with dry brakes that are not as good as today's dry brakes.
Old brakes and clutches will give you a snoot full of asbestos.
