>durability
you can have a minor chute or just have it fall over and the tubes dent like they are tin cans because the wall thickness is 0.5mm, I've seen that happen first hand IRL when a mate's bike had a slowmo fall after leaning against a wall, handlebars rammed into the top tube which resulted into a gigantic dent. Not to mention they crack easily too
>repairability
you can fully repair carbon, even fully snapped tubes. What do you do when a steel frame dents or cracks, cut it and weld another piece in there? Come on
>longevity
what does that even mean, people still ride carbon frames from the early 2000s and 2010s
not to mention steel frames are expensive as fuck while being unaerodynamic and heavy, if you buy steel you're peak paypig because you pay out the ass for an inferior fashion-only product just to look 'hip' and 'unracer'
