And cause damage to the other vehicle, potentially increasing your overall cost instead of just having some minor cosmetic damage.

Yeah, this "saves" the thing that's designed to absorb impact, and puts it on your frame.

Less cosmetic damage, more structural damage.

It's a terrible tradeoff

Oh I never even thought of that. By connecting to the frame it takes all those nice crash zones out of the equation so they’re not absorbing any of the impact.

Why would it matter if the other person hit you. I had to put mine on because people kept backing into my truck I. My parking lot at my apartments.

Some states are no fault. Or you may have been in reverse making it all your fault in other places. Or it will probably give you or a passenger whiplash where the bumper may have absorbed the impact as intended.
