Is it because of poor quality, or just the design and angle of the hood makes it more conducive to chips?

My F15 X5 suffered from the same, and after 4 years had a small number of chips on the hood - what you would expect of 4 years on the road.

I've only had my G05 for 6 months, and already have a couple of very (very..) small chips on the hood - so I am starting to question whether the design/height is just perfect for getting chips?
Design vs quality. My '19 x3m 40i was brutal for good chips. Learned a lesson and PPF'd the entire hood, bumper, headlights, mirrors etc when I took delivery of my '20 x3MC...notice the difference after 10k kms...
