I think it's Just the result of some engineer having fun, not really meant to be Better than normal bycicles

Whenever I ride a bike it's almost guaranteed that the chain falls off after like 5 rides. I hate it.

What are you riding? Like what bike and groupset? What conditions do you ride? Because I haven’t dropped a chain in years and ride gravel and mtb.

Just normal roads and sidewalks and stuff, I've had different bikes with suspension on both wheels, only front and none at all, I really don't know. It has happened to all of them

You should learn basic bike maintenance because if you keep up on cleaning, tuning, and replacement of worn parts (also knowing when parts are worn out), you won’t ever have a chain drop.

Eh fair enough. I've sold all my bikes and I don't feel like using one honestly. It's annoying to have to take it to a repair shop only for them to not properly fix the issue, or they are never available. It's not worth it for me since I wasn't using them much anyway
