Actually, I’ve had wrinkling happen with all my past cars with leather interiors. My Corvette was the absolute worst.
I agree the type of wear looks normal. But what seems abnormal to me is the amount of wear for the age of the vehicle. Leather shouldn't crack that much that quickly. I know of a number of Zs with touring seats that haven't cracked like that in 5 years with a lot more miles.
