Brakes are not very common for ICEs either in my experience. They do wear out, but not very often. This might be about driving style, I’m not a great driver (the only people who think they are - are liars), but I do my best to follow the experts recommendations which means I’m rarely using the brakes hard.
You dont drive a minivan. I swap rotors more often than pads, because its a beast to slow down. Regen would actually really help reduce break ware for me.
I used to work at an auto garage and brakes are most common regular maintenance (outside of filters, and oil changes). Many people go through brakes as fast as tires. Sometimes quicker. Depends on how cheap their pads are, their driving style, and weight of their vehicles.

brake wear?
I just replaced a minivan we had for 10 years and 200k miles. Replaced the brakes once in that time. YMMV, but at least for me.
