I don't know but my gym uses hex bumper plates and I feel like a dipshit everytime I do deadlifts. That and they're hard as fuck to load/unload on the bar sometimes.
I don't know if they ever would but I would be nervous about them rolling back, plus if you have a set up where you pull the bar into you before you lift it just completely screws it up.
I see no reason as to why they were invented. Just to test patience I guess.
I have read online that it is to actually discourage people from dead lifting in commercial gyms where they don't want it to happen. This could be complete BS though as that seems like a stretch as to why they were put into mass production.
