Good for you. There are 2 guys in my club that have great Porsches - one has a 2014 Turbo S and the other a 2019 GT3 RS. They both keep them spotless and their drives consist of taking them to the monthly Supercar Sat or weekly Cars & Coffee shows during nice weather season. They would complain mightily if they had to clean a massive amt of dust from their wheels after driving the 10 mi round trip.

Different strokes for different folks, but that's the riddle Porsche has to solve with their owner base. Some treat them as race cars, others as art. Porsche has to keep them both happy from the factory. With all the pad types available in the aftermkt, it's possible to choose the right pad that fits your specific needs.
