ThatThe pads really don't retract much if any on their own, they are mainly pushed back by any wobble in the disc. In a good system, this isn't a very strong force, so if anything is dirty, it can drag as the pistons will not be pushed back.
On my roadrace bike I pull the brakes apart before every race weekend and clean everything thouroughly. With the speeds we generate, you can warp a disc in a hurry if the pistons don't fully retract. Plus, it's only 30 minutes of work, and probably drops my laptimes by .000137 seconds due to the extra speed. ;)
