I've never seen a brake drum or a disc brake rotor that wasn't dynamically balanced in 30 years. They might exist but not in my world.

Here on Earth, trailer brake drums and hubs haven’t been balanced in many many years.

true for trailer brake drums I've seen, but not true on every vehicle I've had with drum brakes. the brake drum has always had balance weights attached or mill marks where weight was removed.

Even looking at the few vehicles today with rear drums you will very likely find most often weight added to the drum, or weight removed by milling or drilling on the drum. Rotors I've seen appear to be drilled or milled to balance.
