Exactly my same experience. Moreover, all "tests" that I've seen published were obviously counterfeit.In the 80’s everyone said that using an UV filter would prevent haze in the images. I tried to spot the difference, but couldent se much difference my self.

over the years i wrote off half a dozen filters through hard drops--shattered glass, brass mount bent beyond repair--never any damage to lens or body
Or - simpler still - by taking decent care of one's equipment, rather than treating it as "just another tool"...So I assume the majority of damage, if not all could, already could have been spared by mounting just an empty filter-ring.
As far as protection goes, thin glass filters really only offer protection from things like dust, grit, and spray.
