If you don't do the work yourself, I guess that your course of action is complaining.
If pads are worn down, then the rotors will have significant wear. Putting new pads on worn rotors can create squeaky brakes. Customers come back complaining about that.
Dealer rotors are very expensive, so perhaps turning the rotors is an option. But after market rotors are very inexpensive and are easily installed by the DIY mechanic.
I agree, a highway commuter vehicle should have lots of pad life. I had 130000 miles on my original front pads and could have taken them easily to 150000 miles. I renewed the pads and rotors all around as part of a general maintenance job. I did the work myself and the cost was quite small for such work.
