Product managers get to save approx. $30/ rotor at retail pricing by specing resin only rotors. So at OEM pricing x thousands of bikes sold they get to hit their KPI bonuses.
Bike shops get to sell customers new rotors, pads and labour to help bump up their revenues for the small number of customers who will ever complain about the brakes.
Sh*t spec on easily hide able parts (bearings, rotors, pads, cassettes, chains, headsets) will never go away on bikes this price point....
