Mine softened a couple of K miles) after a fresh set of rear pads rotors and a minor Caliper freshen. Annoying, as the pedal was high and hard immediately following the parts replacement.
Got in there and adjusted the rear calipers' handbrake gizmo. Also flushed the fluid. Bit of a pain that, but the extracted fluid was pretty dark, so it wasn't wasted effort. Result was that the pedal is both a bit higher and no longer soft.
Not quite as good when the rotors/pads first went in though.
Any improvement was likely due to the handbrake adjustment :-).
Which suggests the handbrake mechanismn (entire caliper probably)is no longer in it's prime. Something else to 'rebuild'.. soon.
