My 2015 STI was the same, if you looked at it hard it would chip.
My front bar had damage from hitting bugs on the highway.
"Apparently" its the new environmentally friendly water based paint, it is really soft.
But, using a compound to do it was like using a scouring pad to clean your face, way to harsh for a new coating.
I had a in depth conversation with some detailers about it.
Always use a good wash products, foam and gernie first, change or rinse your wash cloth per panel, change the water/wash mix regularly and don't press down hard, and keep the wax up.
For drying never use a chamois, blot, don't rub, use micro fiber towels.
If you get bird or bug shit on the paint clean it straight off, bird shit will eat through the clear coat, quickly.
I live in a pretty dry dusty environment, I wash my car in the garage, or undercover, but never on windy dry days.
I also wax monthly.
I would take it to the dealer, paint defects are covered under warranty.
