Windshield wipers take about 3 minutes to change, no tools, and there is little to no danger. Worst case if you screw up, you might lose a wiper or scratch your windshield. Replacing brake pads, requires jacking up a car, which alone is something many people don't know how to do and if done wrong, can result in death or injury. Next, you need to remove the wheels -- Not a challenge, but not many people know how to tighten lugnuts properly, and overtightening can damage the rotors, or if you're especially unlucky, cause the stud or nuts to sheer off at some point in the future. Certainly not impossible for an untrained individual to do, but it's a fair bit more complicated than windshield wipers and there are several places an inexperienced individual can go wrong.
