... It's common for Prius owners to go for over 100,000 miles in the car between brake jobs...
I've got almost 120k miles on my Prius, and my brakes are still over 70%.
Back almost 40 years ago when I was learning to drive, I was taught the "caution habit" - when traffic situations look wonky, to take the foot off the accelerator and rest it on the brake pedal. That way if you need to brake hard there is less delay than having to move your foot from one pedal to the other. It's a good habit, and one of the reasons I've been able to over a half-million miles without an accident.
It's going to be difficult to change that habit if I'm forced to drive with max regen.
