If you don't use your brakes and just regen all the time, you run the risk of having your brakes rust.

Better to have a reminder, surely the car could figure that one out.
It's not immediately deadly, but your brakes are one of the most important safety systems on the vehicle. They should be in good working order.
I'm genuinely curious because, for no good reason, I take pride in the fact that most trips I don't even touch the brake pedal other than to come to a complete stop and only when parking, etc where you can't regen all the way to a stop.
My EV for example has a brake cleaning mode that turns off regeneration for approximately the next 10 times you use the brakes.
Using that is probably going to be safer than slamming on the brakes.
