Why doesn't it just automatically use the brakes every now and then if that is required to keep them working? Seems like a trivial software fix.

Some EVs do this. Audi E-tron uses brakes on the first application of the drive. Not sure about Teslas.

I think my Polestar 2 does this too. If I haven't driven it recently, I can hear the brakes cleaning the rust off the disks the first time I brake. After that, I think it's using regen most of the time.
