Does SBC really reduce brake wear?

On this CDI I just got, one of the things I'm happiest about is the fact that it was driven largely highway miles. One evidence of this is that the rear rotors and pads are original at 148k miles. Even considering the highway miles, that's still pretty impressive. It will be interesting to see how long they go.

But what I just noticed is that the FRONT brakes were only done once and at 123k miles. Never really seen anything like this....maybe I just don't have much familiarity with cars driven only highway miles. But I also wonder if MB's claim that the SBC reduces brake wear also has something to do with it. If so, I'm glad I have SBC...until it fails, of course.
