Don't forget that with some applications, 2 piece rotors are for weight savings and are quite a bit more expensive. There are a lot of neat details baked into some rotor packages (temperature indicators for example) that while some may find them frivolous, some may like the information before settling with a setup without needing a temp sensor gun.

True that they aren't always functionally important, but customization is why cars are fun, right?
