Same thing with getting rid of all sharp corners/edges on pedals, skewers, TAs, derailluers, etc..

Chainrings and pedals IMO are the big ones that made the whole thing a joke, so many of us have/had cut ourselves on those in races.
They radiused (chamfered) the edges of the rotors so they are much less of a cut hazard. Those other parts do not pose the same level of hazard as a sharp rotor.
