.....Obviously, your ability to slow the vehicle down has a huge impact on where your brake zone is and resultant entrance speed into any turn regardless if you are on or off the track......
.....progressive feel of a bigger brake system and it’s effects on SLOWING the vehicle can be appreciated on the road... especially when the rig is fitted with trail armor, gear, and towing a 4K lb trailer......

Your words here give the impression that you will stop faster with bigger brakes on some hypothetical corner and that's why people upgrade. Am I wrong?
I am saying that they wont stop your car faster due to every single reason I've already mentioned. Summary: Effectively if you don't do it for heat dissipation then you are doing it for looks and pedal
feel. Simple as that.
