Me20, expensive but lasts a while even on heavier cars, and almost no squeal on street

I have a 22 Telly, 103k miles. I’ve replaced rear or front brake pads can’t remember which at 102k, and routine oil changes. THAT’S IT.

How is the brake dust with the Endless pads?
The Stinger is notorious for this same problem—I know first hand. Sad part is don’t let Kia touch it because the problem is the brake pad. OE pad material adheres to the rotor.
Pros: OE pad material adheres
Cons: brake shudder-vibration
Vehicle:
Kia
I'm now on Endless ME20 pads, and they last longer, but still only about 20 sessions in the front. Rears are lasting maybe 2-3X as long. So I'm guessing that I am just overheating the fronts and getting above their happy temps. These pads are much harder on the rotors as well, and hard to get affordably in the USA.
Pros: last longer
Cons: overheating fronts, hard on rotors, hard to get affordably
Vehicle:
Porsche
Kia Sportage SUV, brakes locked up about 2K miles in, shop "fixed" it, the next week it literally spontaneously combusted in the wee hours of the morning.
Cons: brakes locked up
Vehicle:
Kia Sportage
Mileage: 3218 km
I ran the MX72s until I melted them onto the rotors as well.
Cons: melted onto the rotors
