Why on earth would you pay more for a less grippy replacement tire? Certainly, I plan to upgrade then. Others may want to replace their tires now and the cost may not matter to them.

Every third comment on upgrades and going faster is saying to dump the stock tire ASAP, as mentioned above it isn't that bad. Very straightforward statement/opinion.
In theory, the Primacy HP tires have a lower tread wear rating than the Pilot Super Sports, reading the description the Primacy's are a lot more specialized and targeted as OEM for entry level luxury cars (Audi's and Merc's) whereas the PSS are targeted at budget enthusiasts looking for an accessible all around tire that they can AutoX on and then commute to work on Monday with. Not everything automotive is priced by how fast it goes, there's a lot of development in those low rolling resistance tires.
