Yeah, I also have 10k miles on my set and the observation is the same as above. Maybe it is the mechanism built-in in the tires by the mfrs to trigger a fresh tire purchase!

And each time I service my car, stupid service engineers at the dealership keep making faces and repeat how over-inflation will wear out the center more than sides!
