I didn’t realise that it was a common occurrence.
Probably a combination of things,
1 - usage being outwith design. They have a rep as being a burly crank, maybe their aesthetic design and premium price point are causing a false inflation of this? They probably appeal to the kind of rider that’ll give them a hard life?
2 - maybe there’s something about the thread that makes them particularly susceptible to damage in that area. I’m sure mine came with a set of pedal washers, not every crankset does.
