You seem to have only just realised something false (unless you have really crappy disc brakes).

My discuss seem about as effective as my mates disc brakes. I'll have to try a Great British Brake Off to see what's better.

In the dry, with properly adjusted modern rim brakes, there will be very little difference, because both can brake hard enough to lock the wheels, and optimum braking is just before the wheels lock. The disc brakes would probably do so fractionally sooner.
But the rim brakes certainly shouldn't be *more* powerful.
And in the wet, disc brakes are an order of magnitude better, because their performance hardly degrades at all.

That being annoyed by a jogger running in the middle of the road where I'm riding when there's a perfectly good, empty and wide pavements is the same sentiment motorists have with cyclists who aren't using the cycle path next to the road.
If we think we're not the same as motorists in mentality we're wrong! It's in there somewhere, the intolerance whether you recognise it or not.

The character on a few adverts I thought was created specifically to catch your eye because he's annoyingly plastic, really looks like that, and is actually an actor called Rylan Clark-Neal.

Not a clue. I have no idea who he is, or why he's apparently famous. I just saw his picture on something else, and that was the name they'd used. I genuinely thought he was specifically made up for the advert.

Not an actor as far as I'm aware. A TV and radio presenter - he has a Saturday afternoon show on Radio2, but is the Radio 2 presenter I find most annoying.

He also does adverts for Cinch and is enough to put me off using them

He instigated the fashion didn't he? It was later perfected by George Cole after a lifetime's study
