IMO, wear is a result of how people enter and exit their cars. Size of person also has an impact also. I'm 6'2" 185 lbs.
Some guys tend to quickly slide sideways into their cars. Basically throwing themselves in the drivers seat. Rubbing the bolster each time they do so. Yeah I was young once and did it too.
Now as I've grown older and a bit "infirm', out of necessity due to back issues I now open the door, and back into the car and sit down. My legs barely touch the lower seat bolster and I do not at all contact the back bolster.
I use my left hand on the lower seat bolster to boost me up a bit as I swing my legs into the foot-well and turn to face the steering wheel. It works for me.
Certainly, to eliminate premature wear requires some behavior modification. Those willing to adjust won't have a wear issue, those that don't will.
