I wonder why most commercial finals are protected from a high SWR
by foldback circuitry to avoid damage to the finals?

They don't. There isn't an SWR meter on the station.

They are really protecting the finals against excessive deflection of the
TLI. ( Transmitter Loading Indicator.)

But it sure makes a good point of conversation amongst the old wives.
