It's not so much that they don't take kindly to being turned as much as 1) If they have hard spots those will not be machined out and the problem returns in a short time, or 2) if the rotors are machined off the truck they end up with excessive runout and develop thickness variation in short order as well.

Rotors need to be turned on the hubs with a Pro-Cut lathe, and even with that, closely monitored if there are hard spots. If they have hard spots, then they need to be replaced. It will not matter what friction material is on the vehicle.
