As someone else pointed out, there really isn't such a thing as a warped rotor, but an uneven rotor from pad deposits.
Just because you have never seen it doesn't mean that it doesn't happen......ever.
I quite assure you that warped rotors DO happen.
Not just out of the blue, mind you, and not nearly as often as it happened say 30 years or so ago but under extreme conditions or with inferior parts it still does happen.
Now, having said that, other things cause brake pulsation much more frequently than mis-shapen rotors and I learned LONG ago to not routinely authorize "turning" rotors as a routine service proceedure. If they really are bad, replace them. Once damaged to the point or warping, the metal is damaged and will just warp again.
