That car isn't mine but I had the same thought as you. A good body shop can remove it with some heat.

No, not necessarily. The PPF (Xpel) on my 2015 Cayman, installed upon delivery, still looks like new after close to 10 years and 92K miles.
Properly alloyed plastics don't "yellow" as they did in the past, and every car's windshield has a sheet of plastic sandwiched between 2 sheets of glass. Interesting that 10 - 15 years old windshields aren't "yellowing" either.
Most PPF is warrantied for 10 years, If it's beat-up after 10 years, or even before, it's your choice to get new film installed. It can be treated like a wear item as others have stated.
