No I did not - the pads need a clean rotor surface to lay down an even transfer film. Doing it with so much rust and pitting on the rotors could only worsen the situation.

No, this is not the case. My other vehicle (Golf R) is absolutely fine; also watching other cars in my neighborhood I didn't spot a single one with the same problem. Last but not least, I'd have excessive rusting elsewhere on the car which I don't.
