None. You still have another 25K miles to go...
Do you not have an owner's manual?

Hi. Here are my spark plugs after 83k miles. I replaced them all.

Might just be the angle, but the gap looks too wide.
Other than that, they look fine. You pulled them way too early....

Your engine is in awesome condition. Your plugs are showing that they should have been replaced earlier... you save on gas and detonation which there are some little signs on the tips.
Do replace them every 30k miles for you and your engine.

Sorry, pretty much everything you wrote is incorrect; I don't know where you're getting your information from but tell him/her/it they're full of crap.

Very normal. Threads clean and dry, no oil I see. Not overly dark. No significant deposits. Normal amount of wear and no damage. Slight brown color is normal. Plugs weren't overheated, no ash deposits. The ceramic white area doesn't have too much discoloration so they aren't too old (obviously we know this because you know the miles too). Normal. Do a compression test and/or leakdown test and you will have a very good idea of the engines life and condition. Get a valve adjustment and make sure maintenance is up to date if you want to ensure longevity.
