Questions about brakes

I got a 2018 gs350 f sport. Why does it seem like the front brake do all the braking. I drive in alot of stop and go traffic. I drive the same speed as everybody else. This car goes thru front brake pad where the back one are barely used. I took it to lexus about suspension but they could not find anything and told them about the brakes. Went thru two brake pad and rotors where the back pad just use about 2mm and still good

The brand of pads and the composition of the pads can also make a difference in how the pads and rotors wear. The 4GS F-Sport package has always been hard on brakes.
