Without actually knowing anything - I would guess that it's actually a new paint process that manufacturers are using that has benefits in other areas of the paint, but performs bad in the paint chipping arena.
If not that - then it's some cost-savings-related change.
I had a '98 Civic - and it had paint chips all over the front, but they weren't as noticeable because the car was silver. I took really good care of that car too.
The paint chips really stand out on the Fiji Blue.

rock chips and swirls are different.
One is caused by debri on the road, the other is caused by say cleaning your car/giving it a car wash.
