70-80 percents of braking power come from the front, it's pretty normal to have it wear out first

that is the reason right there. hence why you nose dive in braking

Instead of spinning like a top every time you hit the brakes.

The reason the front brakes are used more is based off of the same reason the rear tires are used to push the car forward. When you stop (or accelerate), it gives the front (or rear) wheels more grip when the weight is transferred.

Just a little "reason why...", to the best of my knowledge.
