The problem is we all have levels of salt/acid in our skin that will transfer to the surface of whatever we touch. The pitting you encountered is a byproduct of this and in your case seems a bit more excessive then normal, maybe due to your chemical skin base, type of use (external Keyboard vs onboard keyboard), hot temperatures will cause a sweatier environment also, watches and rings can leave small scratches that will speedup the corrosiveness... I had a 2.5 year old PowerBook that near the end was just starting to show some minimal signs of this. Most laptops are made out of plastic so this corrosion pitting is very unlikely to happen.
