e.g. busses, garbage trucks, etc are very squealy when they brake. Is this due to their use of air brakes, or apathetic maintenance, or something else?

Optimized for stopping 2-3+ times the amount of weight over "comfort".

You don't realize how amazing brakes on personal vehicles are until you drive some sort of loaded work truck. Hell, even a large van. Pretty damn scary the first time you overheat the brakes on a work truck.
