Wouldn’t be uncommon for rears to wear twice as quickly on these vehicles if driven hard.

Historically the ‘aids’ (steering etc) used to apply brakes to help maintain a position of the vehicle, I don’t believe that’s the case anymore due to the camera technology that supports lane positioning that uses steering input but it could be.
If you're talking about a situation where a diff would come into play (nannies keeping the car from sliding out) then that *is* the rears being used more often even on full Ms like the G8x.

I'm talking about in situations where you're just braking normally without something like DSC/TC needing to intervene.
