I thought the point of buying rotors with coated hats and edges was that they would not need to be painted.

If you are fussy about your car looks, a painted rotor hat looks way cooler behind a detailed wheel, it also protects against rust which I now know happens plenty in places other than NY like Florida beach areas.

Coating will wear off in a year (speaking from experience) from heat on the rotors, only the OEM rotor hat don't rust because it's painted.
