I don’t know what it is but no matter how nice of socks I get or how well I take care of them, they will get a hole in the big toe area within a year at the very latest. I’ve never had socks last long enough to have the elastic wear out
I bought a 12 new pairs of Adidas socks for a 2 week trip I took. Came home with 2 fewer socks because I put holes in the toes. It’s absolutely insane and it happens with all brands.
Really high quality brands like SmartWool last longer, but the big toe is still what fails first.
We just threw out a whole pack of adidas socks. After just a few house of wear, made both me and my wife’s feet smell like 3 day old road kill. We decided it was some shitty blend of plastics doing it.
I had to walk down an embankment to a river to wash my feet before bed on a camping trip because I didn’t want them in the tent with us.
I have that problem too with polyester socks. I may have those same adidias socks, and I primarily use them for gym/workouts. My daily driver socks are cotton in the summer and merino wool in the winter. Both of these are Costco branded and are lasting years and wearing well.

Also yes my nails are kept short so it’s not that
I’m here with you. Do you feel like you have exceptionally hard nails? I sure do.
I almost never wear out the toes. For me its balls of the feet holes or occasionally a heel hole. I’ll also say that my socks last a long time.

I bought some heavy duty socks, and so far the only holes they’ve gotten are from the dog. I still wear them because they’re on the top side.
Cutting my toenails shorter did the trick for me.
Ever heard of Darn Tough socks? Expensive per pair, but they come with a lifetime guarantee.
