I'm also not sure that you can definitely say that the stock pads eat rotors or that the dust is the rotor. You have no data, not even anecdotal as I understand it because the 2NH pads are not the same as the blue brakes. I usually replace rotors and pads at the same time anyway.
You might be right, but you can't speak with this level of certainty.

I know it to be true of the blue brakes, I just thought the pad material was the same on the 2NH.
But in general, manufacturers put rotor-killing pads on their cars for numbers, and outright performance at the expense of rotor longevity. And if you're driving the car aggressively all the time, then it's needed on such a powerful car. But if you intend, like many do, to drive the car on the street (and in a spirited but not stupid manner), then true, single-duty, street ceramics generally give you double the life of your rotor. On the OG M2, that's triple.
But yes, I'm speaking a bit out of turn for the M2C pads, as I don't know what they really are made of, or if they're as absolute rotor-killers like the OG's are.
