Default Trophy graphics cracking

I saw a 2023 Defender 90 Trophy the other day and the vinyl graphics on the side had already started to fail. The black part where it says DEFENDER on the drivers door was cracking showing white underneath. Badly. I don’t think this truck has been parked outside its whole life and it’s low mileage, as I know the owner. I was surprised. Anyone else seeing this?

Didn’t take a pic but...

I have the 22 Trophy, so black P400 110. My wrap has cracked on the drivers door where if you trace down from the window and it just starts to bulge out for the main part of the door. At that seam. I can take a photo if you want.
Also low mileage, just past 21k miles, stored outside in either a carport or under a car cover. Oh, and I have also managed to tear it in a couple of places from bushes/pin striping.
It is not a strong wrap.

I would posit the failures are more age and not millage related. Compared to other "automotive" wraps the Defender Trophy wrap is thick. I'm wodering if some type of UV protectant would help future degradation
