If you use the same pad material as what you are replacing, the face of the rotor should be just as even as it always was. Even if you change materials, bedding them in hard means you're very very unlikely to have any squeals or issues.
I've done this probably 10 times on multiple manufacturers and never once had an issue.
The reason the dealers spec it is because if the new brakes squeal, you're coming back and now you need new rotors and new pads again to make sure you won't have an issue. This approach makes sure they have a happy, non-returning customer, and also puts some more $ in their pocket.

Okay. Fair enough. Thats not my experience but I see where you're coming from.
