The number one cause I’ve seen with these adapters is that people do not double check to make sure their blade is centered properly on the adapter and then it will not tighten properly. This will allow the blade to spin on the adapter and ruin the centering ears.

Most owner/operators are too cheap to buy a cheap torque wrench and the sockets.
Here I just got through a mower front end where the owner was too cheap to buy a grease gun and a tube of grease. That cost him $303 for me to free up the rusted in place front axle spindles and replace the steering shaft and sector gear. And he still only want the that fixed and the engine needed work. I kinda got lucky that I did have to ream the cast iron for new bronze bushings. The axle actually had iron bushings but the OEM doesn't provide them separately.
