Powerstop customer service would not give me a straight answer why the rear fitment for the PP Brembo comes in both PSA and PST but the front only comes in PST. Non-brembo fitments are fine though - both PSA and PST are available front and rear.

I had a similar interaction over the same question and came away with the conclusion that Powerstop customer service doesnt know their own product line. When I contacted them about if they were planning on releasing the Spec pad for the (very common) Front Brembo caliper on the PP, they were unaware that Spec even existed.
Its safe to assume they field calls from lifted F150 owners and hard parkers all day and the track pads are a pretty small portion of their business.
Bad customer service notwithstanding, the Track Day pads are pretty darn good. IMO most track day enthusiasts will never even outgrow them, and will save a ton of money over more hardcore race pads.
