I don't think I've ever gone through a new set of pads on any vehicle. It's always me replacing used pads with ceramics, and never again.
Perhaps the truck. I'm sure I've done multiple pads, and a caliper, and rotors, on the truck.
Twice a decade seems right to me. I'll have to check water content next time I flush brakes.

TBH it seems that most people I know with brake fluid/cylinder/ABS/TractionCtr/StabilityCtr/etc. problems live in humid climates, including some rather newer Toyotas that don't have a brake fluid change recommendation.
But there are cars here in dry climates that seem to never have brake problems even after well over 200,000 miles and even if the owners never change the brake fluid.
