Americans "baby" their Porsches because it was their dream car and they're selling it to someone else who will treat it as their dream car. No one wants to buy a car advertised as a vehicle that has been abused and driven hard... it's an advertising term plain and simple.
Germans would advertise that the car has been meticulously maintained, that the paint is flawless because they only washed it with a lint-free cloth and water (no detergents whatsoever) and that the K's on the vehicle were from autobahn driving, not congested city driving... which translates to the fact that they "babied" the car in the terms of some Americans.
There are a few guys who never drive their Porsches and just wash and wax them and put them back in the garage. But those really are rare examples.
