Also, there are many forum posts not on this forum about damage and safety issues with an exposed stick permanently in the tow hook hole. It is possible to make a break-away version that snaps at the base if leveraged off during a park. It just does not exist yet.

Yea but even the most asshole-ish of drivers will not just bump into another car and keep pushing. I've seen a lot of bad parallel parkers bump cars ("parking by braille") but never one that just bumps a car and keeps on pushing.
Also, the screw hole in this case is quite deep and designed to support the forces needed to pull a car. And cars aren't always towed out of a spot in a perfectly straight line.
