In other word, you can afford to have new pads/rotors if they get contaminated/worn/glazed basically.

Well yes, most people change pads and rotors when they get worn. :P
I've had no issues with mine or the grrl's on our gravel/road bike getting contaminated. Only the Inbred with its XTR was crazy noisy. I'm quite careful with my rotors though, not like you filthy lot, with your WD40 "chain lube" and touchy touchy rotors with oily fingers.
Unclean! Unclean!

What makes rotors/pads more likely to get contaminated/glazed when switching wheels on a bike? Genuine question! Is it because if one or the other gets fucked up, it'll write off the other set when you switch as well?

I stopped bothering to be fussy about pads when swapping. I don't even care if they go from resin to metallic so long as they still work. Keep the same size cassette on makes it easier/quicker. Might still have to align the calipers but that's a 2min job and I don't tend to be riding gravel one day and road the next so it'll tend to stay as a gravel bike a while and then go back to road for a while... #csb
