They're still subject to a fair amount of road spray and drippage from the tire and fender at stoplights.
BTW, anti-seize is an absolute mess to work with. No matter how hard you try, you
will get some on the pads. (Or at least I do.) I found it wears off after a few stops. It's about the same reduction in braking as breaking-in and seating the pads.
