FWIW, I recently replaced my front rotors and pads at 40k and I have about 8mm on the back. At this rate, I'll probably have to replace the backs around the same time I do the fronts again. My rotors look nothing like yours though. Mine are smooth and no grooves.
Pros: smooth and no grooves
Mileage: 64373 km
I had the same with my GTI 2015 manual, I was braking less because I was using the engine brake a lot. At 8000 km I made a complaint at the dealer, they changed the discs, and suggested that I brake harder
Pros: dealer changed discs
Cons: braking less, engine brake

Do both. The stock rotors are pretty garbage and cover your car in iron anyways.
Cons: garbage, cover car in iron

Brought mine into dealership, the service advisor said they manufacture these rotors out of softer material now so they don't warp down the road. The softer material downside is that they wear faster. I don't believe that at all. If they wear faster, wouldn't it be more even wear and not scored lines in there??
Pros: softer material prevents warping
Cons: wears faster, causes scoring

Cons: brakes look bad

I took a look at my breaks and noticed the exact same wear on passenger front. Have SEL-P 4Motion R-Line and only 1100 miles.
Cons: premature wear on front

Just noticed yesterday my front rotors are pretty scored too - got a screw in my tire and the repair shop commented on the rotors too.

I had the impression that those discs wouldn’t warp as easy as one piece discs but it looks as I was wrong. VW tried to machine my warped discs with them mounted on the car at one point but they failed so badly that they did not even want to show me the result. After that they messured the runout on new discs on the bench and found them OK. After the discs were mounted on the hubs they were messured again and that one of them had warped. That was the way they found the bad hub. I was quite surprised when I was told that VW did not have any tolerances for the runout on the hubs or the discs. I took for granted that they had quite strict tolerances both on the hubs and the discs. I don’t know if the eight piston caliper and the setup with opposed pistons makes the whole system more sensitive to warpage or not but that has been suggested. And to get this a bit more connected to the thread subject I can add that I have not found any alternative to VW original 365 mm floating discs at all. I was quite surprised to find them cheaper than the one piece 334 mm discs to my Passat W8 though.
Pros: original discs available, cheaper than expected
Cons: discs warp easily, no tolerances found

Could be the hubs. Mine had an axial throw of 0,02-0,03 mm which I thought wouldn’t affect the discs. I filed a complainment to VW regarding warped discs and they blamed the calipers. Told me one of eight pistons was a bit sluggish. With new calipers and two sets of discs later they found what I had meassured before the complainment, a warped hub. The last pair have not warped after the typical 5000 km mark as before. So at least the floating 365 mm discs are very sensitive regarding straight hubs.
Pros: hubs corrected, discs no longer warp
Cons: calipers initially blamed, sensitive hubs
