You are overthinking this. Do not buy a quality knife just to abuse it. You already know the abuse you give a utility knife dulls blades. The abuse will dull a quality knife blade just as quickly.

Buy a good knife for personal use and take care of it.

The beauty of a utility knife is brand new razor sharp blades cost $0.016 each. And if your knife is stolen you can replace it for $5.99 - $22.99.

Better yet, per suggestion of redditor F-21

Carbide Utility Blades stay 10 times sharper than traditional utility blades. The steel body helps to prevent breaking of the blade. https://www.authorizedtooloutlet.com/products/dewalt-dwht11131l-carbide-utility-blades-50-pack?variant=43358774460638&currency=USD&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=google+shopping&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1OLL89n7_QIVbvbjBx2qVgbhEAQYAyABEgI7ZPD_BwE

Carbide tipped utility blades also exist. I don't think any other blade on any knife is as sharp as those, and they hold an edge in really extreme conditions.
