Having my 021 ranger in for 10,000 mile service today, told them about front brake issues maybe rotor related. They determined the rotors need to be "turned" and that should take care of problem. Can't believe rotor issues already with only10,000 miles on the odometer!

I wouldnt turn them. It usually means they got warped or excessive debris got embedded. Turning them will only fix the problem for a little bit.
had my rear done at about 10 k also the problem on the rears was there was glue leaked out on to the rotors from the brake pads, once they turn them do a couple of hot stops to heat them up and see if the warping come back,

Yes and no. We still turn rotors at my work, especially if pads are being replaced and rotors are not too in bad of shape. Usually heavy rust or other deformities will have us not turn them.
There must be a TSB or RRT/RSU out stating rotors must be turned and can only be replaced if 'x' conditions are met.
Only brake issue I've dealt with iswith regards to 2020-2021 Ram 1500 trucks in that with the electronic parking brake, while backing up and applying the brakes to slow down, there's a meaning sound. My best guess is because of the added weight of the electronic parking brake, there's stress that causes almost a lateral sagging with the calipers causing the pads to rub the rotors. Fix is installing a brace kit that puts pressure against the axle tube on the driver and passenger sides. Unfortunately this problem still persists on the current trucks and they refuse to put the current trucks.
Talked to the tech that was servicing my ranger, he said the rotors had no runout, no groves, no uneven pad wear but detected pulsating under hard braking so
they turned the front & rears rotors....... problem solved. I'm the second owner of this ranger so don't know how the previous owner driving habits.
Other Ford models (Edge, F150, Mustang, ect.) also have had rotor issues caused by hard braking and not giving the rotors time to cool down properly. Sound like Ford might have a vender problem supplying them crappy rotors, when they finally need replacing I'll search out a good after market for rotors & pads.
