It is, indeed, a simple example which illustrates (if only theoretically)
that "motional emf" when it is said to pertain to the motion of magnetic
fields (as opposed to the motion of magnets) is misleading and, often,
incorrect. Realizing the ideal setup of a spinning disk magnet is probably
not worth the effort, but if you produce the DC radial electric field you
expect I and others will be be thrilled.

There, I've just given you a quote you can use in your Nobel acceptance
speech. Now go to it!
