No issue with the fat pills. It's the pizza, burgers, steaks, cheese, and wine.

That looks fine. I think mine may have come from the factory looking like that. lol
9 months in and my leather is certainly getting worn. However, it looks aged in an expected way and not damaged. The left thigh bolster it taking the biggest hit as it's difficult to not compress or slide across it when getting in. My bigger issue is that due to trying to avoid rubbing the side bolster, I often catch the bottom of the steering wheel and have actually but a few scratches into it from rivets on jeans as I move the right hip inward.

I've had the same issue with the back side bolsters on the outboard side developing creases. I realized it was my egress technique, or lack thereof. I was placing my left hand on the bolster and putting my body weight into it while getting out. I've since stopped doing this so hopefully with some conditioning the creases will lessen over time.

I had a loaner q5 with the reg leather and it looked like crap at 4,000mi. My SQ5 napa looks about like yours at 20k mi.
