Noticed something wild at the pick-n-pull yesterday

I went to the local U-Pull-It in Phoenix hoping to grab some cheap calipers for my daily. But what caught my eye was this older guy pulling perfectly good pads off a 2012 Accord with like 60% life left lol. He said he swaps his pads every 20k miles because his wife hates any brake dust and he found a brand that works for like $28 a set. I stood there for a solid 5 minutes watching him show me how he measures with a cheap caliper before even taking them off. Kinda made me realize I've been ignoring pad wear way too long. Has anyone else ever pulled pads that early just for dust reasons?

Read somewhere that cheap pads wear out faster than expected.
