PP Brembos are very noise prone. You'd be better off going with the CSG BM4 front, with CP, which will be nearly silent. Higher rigidity with the CSG BM4.

Because that's just way too complex for the average consumer.

The average consumer also shops brake pads by mu and mot, typically, followed by price. Brake pads are so much more complex than that.
