I am currently having that experience here in Eastern Mountain California now that it's dark and winter.

It's hard to tell really if always-on high beams are now common or if SUVs + superbright beams makes it seem that way, especially given there are a lot of hills that can make any car's high beams seem on.

Still, I feel like "civility" here is breaking down and not turning off high beams may be a part of it (though I'm aware that feeling may be coloring my perceptions).

I think it's a little bit of both. I believe the latter started the trend, and that confusion has led other people to just say screw it.
