Not a very good analogue, but you are not really old enough to remember when cars had band brakes. 
Yes they wear unevenly, as they are applied from one end, but there is a lot of friction material on the band, for the adjustment. But like the brakes if they are not adjusted in time, metal to metal will happen.

Yes thats when they run out of adjustment.
