I don't think they are 100% necessary as many many cars don't use them and are just fine. Can anyone elaborate on why they are used/required on some cars and not on others?

Yes please more info on the safety or necessity of these parts

From what I recall Mr. Heeltoe said in the past, the retaining screws are more for convenience; to keep the rotor in place if a person were to work in the area. The lugs would be the main components keeping them on.

PACman's right. The lugs do the real work of keeping your rotors and wheels on the vehicle. The retaining screws just hold them there for those times you take your wheel off, but don't want the rotor to come off too. They aren't necessary, but are convenient when rotating your tires or performing other work in the area.
