Anyway, I took the following picture yesterday to show a distance I don’t walk in them…between where I stop outside my garage to where I keep the bike (shoes on floor on street, bike kept in the storage on left). That’s how few steps I try to take in them.

The only distance I walk in them is in the second picture, from the plastic door to the chair on the left. It’s about five steps. This is at work and I do it approx. 4 x per week.

Is all that “too much walking”?

Also the fact that I cut the vast majority of my walking out after the first time (the walk from bike shed to changing room, around 50m and three flights of stairs) and the rate of wear hasn’t substantially decreased suggests it isn’t because of walking in them, no?
Because it doesn't take much to see what's happening in your case. There is ONLY one answer. If you're wearing the yellow pads off the cleats it's because you're walking too much/dragging your feet. What else would cause this? Little aliens that sneak into your house at night and chew on your cleats? At least at this point (after seeing a few of the last posts) you've come to terms w/ what everyone else is posting and know that you are the cause of the wear.
