Sure. My last car was a Mercedes AMG that needed new pads every 8-10k miles, so I might be a bit biased. But TBF my car before that was a Land Rover Discovery 3 and that was eating pads like crazy despite not driving it aggressively at all - I attributed it to the weight of the vehicle.

> if you are not getting 100k miles out of your brakes the problem is not the car but the driver.

This is just false. If you get 100k in your non-EV before having to replace at least your front brake pads, you must be racking up highway miles.

You are very out of date, on a modern car the rear brakes will go first. With traction control they move all the braking to the back, if possible, so steering works better. Of course if you brake hard there is no choice but let the front brakes take over, see my comment about bad driving.
