I suspect you might be confusing lever finger pressure with stopping power.
It's true, disc brakes usually have excellent modulation and need very little force to get to max braking power, but rim brakes are just as powerful.
Stopping power is limited by either locking the wheel up or doing an endo, with the limit being either road traction or centre of gravity position. If you can't do either of these with a particular bike, then there is something wrong with those brakes. (e.g. old school bikes with steel rims in the wet).
