I don't recommend antiseize. They aren't getting galled up. It's handling leading to thread damage/debris
If you want them to last a long time, you need to keep the threads clean and damage free.
It's common because the threads are fine pitch and often people are rough with wheels when installing them. It's easy to damage the studs if you aren't careful, especially if you are haphazard and drop/drag the wheel across the threads as you install/uninstall them. After a few times, you can imagine how a loose chip can destroy a stud/lug.
I broke 3 studs over a course of 18 months until I took some more care during installation. If a stud was running rough, I would stop and run a tap instead of just sending it home. After that, it was 3 years before I broke the next one. My wheels came on-and-off at least 3-4 times a year at that point.
