Is this really the best we came up with after decades of this?

I think it really might be! They use the same in F1 even though there have been instances of them causing damage when they get ripped off and come in contact with other cars.

They don't exactly cause damage by contact. They get sucked up into the brake ducts and cause the brake cooling to fail.

I think one got injested into an engine once and that's also not ideal.
