The drivers side looks normal but the passenger side doesn't have as much wear.
It feels fine, but this needs to be addressed.
I'm assuming it's the issue is with the sliding pins?

That’s a bit odd rotor wear pattern. How new are the pads and rotors? Slots and holes will cause some initial strange wear but should even out. Are the pads worn evenly inside to outside?

Standard things to check:
- Slider Pins
- Nub engagement with inner piston notch (piston rotation)
- pad spring centered on caliper (not one end caught up in the center hole

I can see where this could happen if you do spirited driving, turn more to one side when doing so, and don't turn off the ESC.

The ESC intervenes when it determines that the angle of the steering does not match the yaw of the car by applying brake on the (I think) inside rear wheel to tighten up the corner, so if you turn harder to the left when "hooning" that would cause the driver's side to wear more.

Just a thought.
