I’ve not for a minute imagined any of this would be covered by warranty.
dont know it's an apple to apple comparison since all your cars was driven at different routes/time. It's simply bad luck that your 2019 take more rock hits. I driven many hondas prior and I've received quite a few paint chip on them, but very minimal in all our BMWs, I dont blame paint quality or anything, just simply bad luck

btw, we have mineral white on our as well. We live in Arizona, which is known to have extremely high rocks on our highways, and we havent seen any damage on ours. We do have full front ppf, but the rest of the paint is still paint chip free (*knock on wood)
