I don’t find that to be true. I have had two different BMW X Drives, both 535 cars. I have run both staggered and square setup. I have never seen the rear tires wear faster than the fronts. You can’t rotate a staggered set because the rears won’t fit the front and would really look strange if you did.
If your rear tires wear faster than the front you have a problem. The rear tires will not spin independently from the front enough to wear tires unless the transfer case is out.
I run 245/40-19 front and 285/35-19 rear. That is .2 tenths of a inch different. I was running 275/35-19 rear, which is about .15 smaller than the 285, so basically +-.15 in either direction. I have had absolutely no problems
