A warped rotor(s) will push a pad too far back into the caliper to where pumping the pedal is needed to get it to contact the rotor upon applying the brakes. If you have a slight pulsation during an easy application of the brakes, a warped rotor is likely. Also, calipers need to slide in their mounts. If for some reason the caliper doesn't slide, the mounts will flex until the brake works and then when it relaxes the pads move back too far from the rotor again.
I fixed brakes for a living and have never heard of or encountered such idea,s (eg) warped rotor causing low brake pedal and usually when calipers have seized up sliders it does not effect pedal travel
it simply wear,s out the piston brake pad prematurely because its carrying the whole load as the outboard padis not being applied
Having to pump your brakes two or 3 times to achieve a decent pedal
to me says theirs still air in the system
