If your Akebono pads are lasting forever and not producing dust, what is happening to your rotors? I'm not saying any thing bad is happening to your rotors, but wondering if you are wearing out your rotors faster than with other pads.

Nothing bad happens to rotors. Akebono made a wonder compound where ceramic mix is not having the bad effects other ceramic pads do.
I had/have Akebono on 2 of Mercedes. The older one had them installed with rotors already 50% wear and Mercedes is having about 2 mm of wear allowed, so not very much. I sold the car after 60k on new pads and being in contact with new owner he added additional 30k not mentioning brake job.
Per my knowledge the car at 300,000 miles is on original rotors, or max 2nd set.
