Of course most brake jobs don't require turning the rotors or the drums,
especially if the car has been driven reasonably and there is no deep
scoring.

Not 100% true. Heat alone distorts the rotors and drums.

Agreed. As an ex-mechanic, I know for a fact that most drums and
rotors DO need resurfacing and truing. If you can live with a
pulsating pedal and a harder pedal pressure for stopping, don't turn
'em. Who cares if it's less safe?
