Not to be confused with “Solid rotors” with no internal cooling vents.

I have read about rotor thermal mass plenty times on the forums emphasizing that the thermal mass is very important almost to the point that cooling provided by vanes is negligible, which is not the case at all.

I have seen similar rotors in other high-level endurance/touring classes. I have also seen plain rotors on other touring cars (more often in the lower-level classes , like WTCC).
Clearly slotted rotors have some benefits... I am not quite sure though why some use them and some don't. I assume it's just more maintenance, more controls, and higher costs to run slotted rotors.
Sorry for late reply
