This rotor issue is known issue across many GLKs including pretty new ones. I think it's MB pads or caliper design, but this is just a guess.
Btw...MB doesn't bother with L/R rotor up front (or rear), L/R are the same rotor even tho inside vanes are angled...But then again, both rotors get warped not just one...

2015 GLK350 & 2020 C300
On both of my GLK350s the brakes were wearing normally when I replaced them.
My 2015 factory brake pads and rotors at 35,000 miles (56,000 km) were in superb shape. The surface was very smooth and even.
On the 2013 I had, I replaced the brakes with Akebono and Brembo hardware around 70,000 miles (112,000 km). Before I sold it at 90,000 miles (144,000 km), I inspected the brakes again and they looked like they were wearing evenly and normal. Keep in mind I do city driving in Los Angeles with heavy traffic.
