The answer to this is just about without fail cheap pads. You get what you pay for with friction material and the cheaper pads and shoes often make noise. If you replaced them with quality pads I’m sure you would have better results. I don’t advocate putting anything on the backs of pads because as you pointed out it’s normally a waste of time and just makes a mess. This is how I treat brakes when I replace them. The lubricants used and how they are used are key to a successful brake job.
