I recall being charged a then eye watering 14/- in the 1960s to have a cable made up. For a practical impecunious soul it would have been tempting to make up a rod system. The shortcomings of Seven brakes do not arise primarily from cable stretch!
In fact it's been made worse, instead of cable stretch there is now bending of the rear rods as they try to straighten out under load...
