The answer to your question depends on many many factors. Type of driving ( city or highway), vehicle size and weight, driving style, etc. There is no short answer or correct answer. The brakes wear out when they wear out.

As long as your rotors are not warped, or you have not let the brake pads wear to the point they defaced the rotors, there is no need to change them. Just install new brake pads. Rotors can last the life of the car.

Very likely, especially if they are OEM. OEM rotors are very flimsy to keep down the the as-shipped weight of the vehicle. If you've gotten 52,000 miles out of them you are doing well. Expect to replace the front rotors twice for every rear drum job.

What would cause brand new brake rotors to warp repetidly on a 1996 Buick Le Sabre?
Break rotors heat up very fast while drive and stopping, todays technology in my sense isn't the best on rotors. If you have a heavy foot and brake hard, that will contribute to warped rotors. Sudden stops will also case warping. Most brake Specialist (Les Shwab) recommend on new cars, and new rotors to brake easy, (light foot) on your new rotors for the first 1,000 miles of the rotors life. That way they have time to brake in.

Is there any possible way to drive and brake so poorly that you would wear your brakes to metal on metal in 4200miles?
Sure, it can be done by somebody who rides the brake. It can also happen if you didn't turn the rotors and just pad slapped it instead of doing a proper brake job. It could also happen if your rotors have gotten rusty from sitting. I left my Mustang sit for a year and a half. It had good brakes before but the rotors rusted so badly that the pads only lasted about 2000 miles before I was metal to metal.
