I think you'll find that cost is the biggest limiting factor. Sure you could probably design a "caliper" that covers the entire surface of the disc, but it would end up costing more than, say, the carbon-fibre brakes used by F1 (which are more effective anyway).
Weight is another factor to consider in high-performance applications as well. Big brakes made from conventional materials are HEAVY, and that does bad things to handling since it's all unsprung mass.
