Don't know this as fact, but I've read that generally European cars were built for light unsprung weight and rotors were always viewed as "disposable". The early US disk brakes had a lot more meat.
OTOH, I remember buying a set of rotors for a 1980 Chevy Citation for $150 (each!) in 1982 dollars - because there weren't third party mfr's for them yet. So, rotors for these cars (mine, anyway) are pretty cheap.
