Testing details:

Cole and I each started from the same position each time. The bike was in EP mode so that we could immediately go full throttle and have no slip. The bike was held at full throttle until reaching the braking marker. The max variation in MPH was 2MPH with a range between 19-21MPH. We did 3 runs each on each bike to ensure our data was 'decent'. Because I'm a one-finger braker, I made sure I only used one finger on all three tests, but it should be noted I probably could've stopped quicker with the stock pads had I been using two fingers because they require more pressure. Both tire pressures were set to around 25psi.

Speculating on why the front brake only swap worked as well as swapping both, we came to the conclusion that applying so much front braking pressure would consistently unload the rear tire completely. This means that the rear tire doesn't help much under heavy braking.
