So what's the advantage of "taking the weight off the wheels", something to do
with suspension tuning ?
In a static sense the wheels are still supporting the weight of the discs (and
all the rest of the car).

Jaguar has a unique disc-brake system where the discs are inboard, taking that
weight off the wheels. However, a PITA to service from what I know.
