Free hub Wear

Hello,
Would like to get some opinions on the wear discovered on a friends freehub today.
Bike is 3 months old, and has probably done less than 200 miles. This is an Easton EA70XC hub, with the original freehub. The cassette he is running is the original SRAM X9 (we think - everything else is X9). It required a great deal of patience, and some force to get the cassette off the hub due to this wear.
Surely this shouldn't happen especially so quickly??
Thanks
Ed

Seems to be an awful lot of wear to me given he has only done 200 miles or so, especially as my hub (an EA90XC) has done over double the distance with only the most minor signs of wear. It wouldn't be so much of a concern except that it makes it very hard to remove the cassette, and by current wear I would guess the thinnest fin on the hub will be worn through completely in another 100 miles or so.
Will try to find out what Easton think, my view is this is not fit for purpose

Cassette is a SRAM PG-1050
when reassembling, noticed that unlike shimano the cassette only has barb things to catch the hub rather than full teeth photo below... maybe the problem is the cassette?

It does have carriers for the 3 biggest sprockets, but not for the rest
