Here's what Car and Driver had to say about them:
The patent application "relates to a brake rotor having a decorative insert" and mentions how it "is desirable to provide a method to effectively and lastingly mark components without adding prohibitive cost to the manufacturing process or compromising component quality." Sure, but we're not certain who is clamoring for brake rotors that look like these brake rotors.

That's true, especially if you're trying to trade it in to a Chevy dealer vs. a used car dealer.It can be significant enough depending on the effect of these easter eggs on used car buyers.
This makes a lot of sense, I usually stick with stock parts to begin with so I have no problem with this.It's to discourage you from buying aftermarket OEM-spec replacement parts.
