I have 3 bikes and 3 sets of rotors dedicated for each bike. I find this lessens the chance of me having to adjust the calipers when I switch.

Holy moly! And I thought wheel changes with disc brakes were only a little slower than rim brakes due to the through axles! You mean you have to swap rotors, too? How do pro road racers handle this?
I don't always have a lot of time for a ride on any given day. Once in a while I'll grab a bike for a ride, only to find that a tire is flat (maybe it had a slow leak since the last time I rode it). On those odd occasions, it takes less than a minute to swap to another rim brake wheel, and my riding time is not curtailed that day (I can fix the flat in the evening when I get back). If I followed the above advice, then if I used disc brakes I might have to curtail my ride that day.
