I think it's because the pad needs to create a uniform wear pattern in the rotor, this way it will wear in more evenly.

Could also be a safety procedure that you give yourself plenty of time to brake incase you hit a air bubble in the lines from the brake job.

I think you should jack up the car yourself. When the wheel is in the air put one hand on top of the tire and one on the bottom and see if the wheel is loose when you move top hand in, bottom hand out and vice versa to see if you can shake the wheel. This will tell you the condition of the wheel bearings. Hope that made sense.

Dealers normally hire the worst grade techs. Take it to an independent mechanic or try to learn yourself . Good luck
