I'm not an automotive engineer, but as hobby I often fix and correct issues they've caused on my project cars. So I tend to give them the benefit of the doubt, until it's been proven they've designed a defect that needs addressing.
That being said, the photo above creates several questions and concerns for me. Why is the gap so large between the rotor and shielding? Why does the shield flare out at the top, but in at that bottom (I understand the steering rod clearance issue)?
I know I'm probably wrong, but it almost looks like that thing is installed upside down and backwards.
Why doesn't it follow the most prevalent design style for this component? See my examples below:
