Evo X clutch lining literally ripped apart
LOL 600 miles, and somehow it's the clutch's fault? Any street clutch will do that if you launch it before it's broken in. The flywheel and pressure plate are really grippy when new, and the clutch material is grippy as well, very tall, and still have some organic compounds to burn off (although that clutch looks like it was torched, so I'm sure that happened very quickly). Anyway, it reminds me of the time a guy put on BRAND NEW street pads at the track, and proceeded to hot lap it without bedding them in. They basically crumbled into pieces...
Yeah, I have to agree it seems like abuse.
Just curious, if it was slipping continuously due to pedal preload, how would it look different? (I am not saying that's the case, simply wondering about it)

BASICALLY it would look more like a worn-out clutch and less like a burned shredded one. the heat checking would be less severe as well.
I use the quotes with weak because many have had their clutch last a long time, I myself have over 30,000 miles on my car with autocrosses and other events, and the clutch is still strong. Hell, I even learned to drive stick on my Evo.
