Yes, I can see that. My daily commute is 3 miles one way. A lot of stop and go. Obviously, most of the miles on the car are not my commute, but family vacations, where I pretty much ignore the existence of a brake.
In Seattle, my commute was 8 miles one way, but I rode my bike. ;-)
Meanwhile my wife’s 300m needed new brakes every 30k miles. The first time I bought new rotors. Then, after I did the brakes, I had the old rotors turned and stored them in the garage. The next brake job, I swapped them out and repeated. I just did a brake job at 170k. I threw the old rotors away this time.
