Im not an expert of any kind on the subject but I can tell you this is not how braking works. When you release the brakes, the piston does not retract on its own, its the friction between pad and rotor that pushes the piston away. Once they are not touching (or barely touching so not enough friction), the piston stops retracting. The amount of missing material on the rotor and pads should not increase the pedal travel. There are exceptions, like uneven wear on rotors can push pads a bit further away, but nothing major to the extend of what you are feeling.
