There is no such requirement that I am aware of! When replacing the pads,
the discs (rotors, if you insist!) need to be checked to make sure that they
are within spec with regard to:
* minimum remaining thickness
* runout
* absence of serious scoring

Provided they are ok, there's no reason to replace them.

My 1999 V70 (UK) still has the original discs but is on its second set of
pads.
