Think about it, what if rotating tires actually wears them out faster?
A tire used to roll forward then gets rolled backwards, meaning it has to be broken in again.
A straight line rear tire from the rear now gets rolled backwards, and driven in the case of FWD tire just gets worn out faster than it should be.
A tire with properly worn in pattern provides better weight distribution during roll, and grip. Imagine if we can change our shoe soles from left to right, we would have to break in the soles again, how that affects treadwear and grip?
One thing worth try, is to rotate only one side front back. Or, cross rotate front left and rear right. Leave the other set alone. See how that goes?

What you say about faster wear after rotating tyres or change 'position' or 'contacting surface profile' or multiple times of 'broken-in' makes perfect sense , IMO . Unfortunately this 'negative' phenomenon is being kept aside or hidden from consumers.
I respect your views and opinion and its an interesting point of view, but if what you said is true, why I dont find many, if there's any, articles or other automotives forum, websites, quora disagree with tyre rotation?
