If you think that air dams look "super cool," you can't possibly be old
enough to drive a car. Cool is here, and it ain't got no stinkin' air
dam

Bzzzzzzt! It's high curbs. Most of us don't drive all that much in
Pennsylvania for potholes to be a factor.

From my experience, they mostly strike high parking space curbs.
Regardless, I have never had to replace one. What is the OP doing to
completely destroy it so often?

Ditto.

One could only speculate. Being a careless parker would be my first
stab at it.

The OP (that's me) parks in designated "Handicapped" spaces, which
usually have one of those small(ish) curbs to keep one from knocking
down the "Handicapped" sign. he one that got me this time had a bolt
sticking about 2" higher than the curb itself, intended to keep the curb
in place, but it got me in the air dam and tore it off.

With respect, have you had your eyesight checked lately?
