My $0.2 - regardless of rotors - in a situation such as you described, pressing and releasing the pedal may have helped your clear the water more quickly than a solid press, maybe
It's hard to keep in mind but if you can... when driving in that kind of weather, consider periodically lightly pressing the pedal - not to stop but to scrape some water off. Used to find this necessary in some heavy rains in the New York mountain areas..
Disclosure - I have those upgraded rotors on my car and they have performed great. Old habits die hard though, especially if I go through some deep water I always do a small (safe) brake check to check the situation and clear some water off.
