It was always my understanding in the past when developing heat sinks etc. that allowing more surface area will increase heat disappation.


Well, after the rotor has reached max temp, heat dissipation is going to equal whatever amount of energy the car puts into em.

And it puts that energy into the rotor via the pads. If you decrease friction surface area, you have to increase the temperature difference to scrub off the same amount of energy.

Hotter pads = greater chance of fade or boiling.
