As already mentioned, this sort of abnormal wear indicates an issue with alignment or a similar issue.

Don't feel bad about skipping the tire rotations. Rotations would only disguise the issue. You now know something is wrong and needs to be fixed. I feel this way about tire rotations in general. I have not done tire rotations on my cars in decades. The only issue I have had is tires wearing differently front to back. No problem. I just replace the front or back set as needed. On my truck camper the rear tires wear at twice the rate of the front tires. At about 15-20K miles, I switch out the front and rear tires. After another 15-20K I replace the rear set with new tires. Following this schedule I always have relatively new, minimally worn tires on the rear axle.

This is how I live. My thought is if a tire in 1 position is wearing 20% faster than normal, you rotate like suggested, you have 4 tires wearing 5% faster than should, plus you don't see the wear. Replace all tires, wear out 4 more.

Roflmao…for a couple guys that profess to know a lot about vehicles and claim to work on them yourselves (IE my impression is that both of your are, at a minimum, pretty handy shade tree mechanics), this is the silliest excuse I’ve ever heard for not rotating tires.
Granted, different tires, different vehicles , different tread, different driving conditions / loads all factor in to what is or may be appropriate for rotation. Not just frequency but position.
But a blanket statement that rotating tires is bunk or unnecessary is just passing along bad intel to those who don’t know no better…
