None of this is really true at these price points. You may seriously just be projecting a bias against renters stemming from subconsciously held elitist views: owners are cleaner and nicer and don’t tear things up. Golly! Literally what you said IS elitist by definition. Period. Get over yourself. And, well, what if they don’t actually tear things up?
The wear and tear is the same, just not fixed as promptly by management when in a rental context than in a condo context. That shifts the blame from residents to where it actually belongs: the developers.
