Obviously, something is causing a problem on this guys car and Toyota/Subaru does not seem to know how to fix it. Also, everyone knows that this is not an isolated case. Others have had tail lights replaced multiple times.
And if you think that this body does not flex (a lot) there is a video on here somewhere that I watched of a guy running the car through pylons or on a track. The Go-Pro was mounted right behind the drivers door and you could watch the seam around the door get bigger and smaller as the car changed directions. That was the moment when I understood why TRD made the door braces. It is not too big of a stretch to think that similar forces may be damaging the tail light housings. Just sayin.

Not to be a ass or anything.. But did you read the posts... Toyota/Subaru know what the problem is.. The lights being over torqued when being installed.. The dealership techs are just not following the torque specs.. There is a specific TSB just for this problem.. I can bet the tech takes out the light.. Installs the new one and just tighten the nuts down untill it's tight
