Well...not to add to the conspiracy theory...
When I purchased my car, it had nearly 60 miles on it. One of the alloys had curb rash and I asked the dealer replace it. They did -- with a wheel from a dealer car that obviously had about 5000 miles on it -- the tread on that Conti was considerably different than the other three OEM Contis on my Sportcombi. I raised the issue and they found a dealer car with about 100 miles on it and I chose the wheel/tire to serve as the replacement.
So...your theory is highly plausible based on my experience.
Also, I've heard that these Contis do wear somewhat fast, but not as fast as yours.
