As a closet tip scraper, I can tell you it adds up over the seasons in the bumps.
Ever been tempted to do aramid skins on them?

Dragging at speed on the tarmac did it for me. Two thin layers of titanal, plus the heel of the Griffon. Courtesy of either Denver Airport or LGA. I'd normally go with Lga, but they needed some distance.
Banned from testing because of a few scratches?
The OP didn't say ho many ski days on those tips. As a closet tip scraper, I can tell you it adds up over the seasons in the bumps.
Be careful about adding tip protectors. I religiously remove them from my skis (I ski K2 a lot). If they are not super flush on top and bottom the tip protectors can hook together - a real problem even if it’s just for an instant when you’re not expecting it! It’s not a problem on groomers but in bumps or in crud and powder where your tips might not always be precisely where you think they are - watch out!
Nah. In my case the ski goes dead or the binding fails before the tips delaminate.Ever been tempted to do aramid skins on them?
Another item of evidence for the ski scraping on ski skeptics.
Aging Blizzard Bushwackers. These have >200 days. Worn more on the inside part of the tip as the top sheet pattern is left/right asymmetric (outline of a bull's head like the Brahmas which only makes sense when the skis are one way) so many more days with the skis in the left/right arrangement as pictured. However used to swap the skis over to delay paying for a tune hence wear on the other side of the tips when they were on the inside.
Finally willing to ask.
What is that yellow/white item on the left, next to the ski tips?
There are people who do almost no damage to any part of the ski except wear the bottoms/edges. I have family members I can take their ski and after 50+ days it looks nearly new, where in one day on mine there’s no way anyone would buy it as “like new” just because of chips on top sheet or the tip.Those look exactly how I'd expect a pair of skis at 200 days to look. Perhaps some of the leg separation paragons could post pics of their non worn tips on skis which have done similar mileage.
As for cosmetic tidying, why bother? Tools not jewels and all that.

Starting from the right - ski tip (base) , ski tip (base), binding (front piece), Ski boot.
The skis are bending a lot.
The black piece in the middle of the yellow is the water dam at the toe area of the boot.
That's the boot. Black eye shaped graphic is on the top of the toes, toes facing you.

... why would anyone force their feet apart?...
