Our SHP Inspection officers are tough on rust on brake rotors. The code is a bit vague and we'll often fail a car and the customer will immediately take it to another inspection station that laughs at us and then passes the car, but our State Police Inspection Officer has always agreed with our decision when asked by a customer to question our failing their car. The machining is often a less-expensive way to comply with the inspection code.

Thanks for your follow up!
Just wanted to add, it seems to have nothing to do with functionality but to appease the troll under the bridge.
