Having hosed up a number of landings in training with side-loading and landing flat, I can say 172s are pretty sturdy aircraft. I'm still just a student pilot, but I accept that most mechanical things can fail at some point, that's why we have checklists and should be regularly training on emergency responses/troubleshooting. Also, who's to say that brand new million dollar+ Cirrus doesn't have build issues or faulty parts out the door? Airplanes can be lemons just like any vehicle. If a pilot is flying close enough to thunderstorms to be hit by lighting, they've got bigger problems than worrying about the thickness of the plane's paint job.  I suppose if you really want, maybe do a deeper dive into the flight school you'd want to use. Ask to look over the maintenance logbook for the plane(s) you'd be flying, ask where they get maintained, maybe talk to those A&Ps.

Looks like there might also have been a prop strike on the starboard side?
