Most cars on the road are automatics by a wide margin, most people do not use the parking brake to save the parking pawl.

If what you speak of was a thing, there would be waiting lines at repair shops to fix that issue.

But in a bizarre twist of fate, if you browse transmission rebuild sets, the parking pawl is one of the components that's not included, as it's expected to outlast even that 2nd set of clutches too. It's not that it can't or doesn't happen, it's that it's such a rare failure that, as I've said before, there are more important things to worry about, like the ratio of colored M&Ms in a bag, or the aerodynamic efficiency of a silica gel packet.
