Treadwear has no universal standard among tire manufacturers and the reason they wear quick is because they have soft rubber which usually means more grip. Perhaps you have no grip, but some others would like more, or don't drive their car often enough to warrant a long lasting tire. I, for example, drive my car 3-5k miles a year so a long lasting tire is less preferred to a grippy tire.
