The microSD cards usually just get damaged when writes are happening (and this increases with power fluctuation e.g. when you are powering a witless-adapter, zigbee dongle with the Pi). Very likely if you run something like HomeAssistant.
The best way to avoid this (without having a pci-e ssd connected to the Pi) is booting from a read-only FS on the SD card and then mounting a USB connected SSD for writing data.
If you want to have a "fake" R/W system take a look at https://yagrebu.net/unix/rpi-overlay.md https://yagrebu.net/unix/rpi-overlay.md which is a R-only FS which writes changes into RAM only. I run my PIs with that.
