Sorry, but where exactly is the variable alignment on a modern vertical dropout (or a nicer old bike with set screws, or a fork end)?
How exactly does the alignment change on wheel installs? The wheel butts up against a precise spot on the frame on both sides, that's where it installs every time. The hub width doesn't change either.
And even -if- what you are saying were true, disc systems do not rely on the brake mounts being precisely aligned with the wheel/rotor, that's why they have those connical washers which allow for adjustment in every direction, and it's standard practice when setting up disc brakes to loosen the attachment bolts, pull the lever, and then tighten the bolts to align the caliper.
So even if wheel installs put out the alignment it would take 10 seconds to fix it simply by loosening the bolts, pulling the lever, and then tightening the bolts. Seeing as regularly removing your wheels is a pretty niche use case, why would that even be a problem?
