Btw, outside of this piece, I have never seen any IRL abuse post, as the majority of real clay models or plushies posted here are just family friendly arrangements and stuff. Are abuse works really that rare?

I'd say it's more about being hard to make abuse stuff. To begin with, if I were to spend X yen to buy a yukkuri plushie I'd rather avoid breaking it. Especially if said plushie can't be found in general stores. It also depends on the material or the artist's skill. With actual clay, either one-shots are made, or multiple versions of the same yukkuri are needed (since the clay hardens and can't be remodeled), so artists with limited materials might be unable to do it. That said, if you look at the irl tag, some abuse is present, so go wild.
Keep in mind Yukkuris are a meme spawned by some broken ascii art of Touhou from 2ch BBS a long time ago. Touhou is already a niche following (yukkuris even more so) and yukkuri abuse is even more niche, landing straight in the same veins of jissous and fluffies.
This means there's a lot less artists in the mainstream crowd that will even bother with abyuse, which is more or less yukkuri guro. Not to mention Yukkuris, being a meme, declined years ago.
There's literally almost no exposure of yukkuris outside of 2ch and futaba, at least none that we know of. There used to be a big thai/vietnamese site but that went down years ago, and Taiwan/China isn't as big into this as they used to be.
To say this is probably the only place outside of Japan that actually has updates (thanks to all you uploaders) that has yukkuris isn't too farfetched.
