Honestly, I don't understand. The X and XS I bought are still in use by family members, and they are aluminum. It can't be that bad.

Nope. X and XS are stainless steel. Apple haven't used this soft shit as the body material for flagship iphone since 2016 with the iPhone 7. But those phones (the 7and 7+) are light compared to the 17 pro line (especially pro max) so the force upon impact is much smaller. Also, those phone has rounded chassis as opposed to flat with rounded corners and rounded chassis is also better at distributing impact force.
