If you do that on a MTB, you crash. Rear is to control your speed. The front is to stop.
Brake before the corner, or the bike stands up if you brake in it. If you brake hard with a front brake and lose traction, you not only can't stop but also can't steer either.
For those reasons, I think rear pads should be the first to wear out
