Anecdotally, gym rental shoes are frequently asymmetrical as you describe.  The left shoe showing significantly more wear than the right.  

I don't think a hole after 3hrs, 3x/week, for 12 weeks, is out of the ordinary.  I do think some quiet feet drills will help you going forward.

Based on the information provided, that looks like a reasonable amount of wear and damage to the shoe

The narrower the toe the less rubber there is the wear out. The should not wear out faster than than the solutions. Rands are the same too.

If the rubber is really fresh it will wear out faster.

I think this kind of top down peeling wear is likely from you dragging your toes up the wall as you climb on slabs. Doing this will cause premature wear like you are getting, but it can be fixed by changing/improving your footwork overtime.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
