Agreed that.some hangers are mire flexy than others, but bending wants an explanation. Also agree that some people are unaware of their n rough handling, so that MAY be the explanation.
But the OP has reported multiple bent hangers on this bike, which is much more than a fluke.
IMO blaming the hanger is a distraction keeping people from a serious search for the actual cause.
