This suspiciously seems like how cars that have yellow brake calipers go faster.

  That is mimicry of what was once an actual indicator. Brembo brakes calipers were famously coloured, and those were added by people who modify their cars to go faster. Mimicry won. As with many other metrics, once something becomes a metric it no longer accurately measures what it was intended to measure.

    The brembos on our cadillac are silver, and by modern standards it definitely is not a fast car lol. It sure stops nicely though.

      Might I guess that your Cadillac is a relatively heavy luxury vehicle, and thus another class of vehicle that requires improved braking ability?
