Since the rotors spin as fast as the wheels turn and the callipers are stationary. Even a slight friction between the two could in essence cause a harmonic tone.

Or they're there to stop the vibrations from reaching somewhere else on the car when u apply the brakes.

Point is who knows none of us designed the suspension and braking systems for this car.

Brembo stated it might be for the harmonic balancing but u seem to doubt them to.
Got this interesting response from my father (GM manager):

Hmmm... Harmonic Resonance Dampers? Original Camaro had a last minute gel filled canister that went into the trunk to dampen a resonance they could not engineer out.
So his take was that it was for harmonic dampening. Who knows for sure though...
