Last year I carried a Glock 26 with a 12 round magazine most of the time, probably around 300 days. Occasionally my G-19 and G-43.
This year with the Covid 19 and staying home I am packing a G-42 or G-43. The G-26 gets the call when I am going out.

Not calling anyone a liar, but I suspect everyone who isn't an LEO and claims to carry a G19 or larger everyday isn't being entirely honest with themselves. In my experience that "everyday" is couple of times a month or the larger gun is in the truck and there's a .380 or j-frame in the pocket. Just saying. I suspect you have very little experience being around people who understand how/why to carry a serious gun, and do so for the right reasons. (Right reasons meaning not as a talisman or "feel good" insurance, or assuming they know when a fight will happen or what it will look like.) Exposure to the right people would change your tune pretty quick. A G19 is not difficult to carry if you're in reasonable shape (i.e. can see your own pecker without a mirror), and you don't have to be law enforcement or military to do so or understand the reasons why you'd want/need to. You would be incorrect in that assumption. I've had a CCW for 27+ years, was a very active competitor for a lot of years in USPSA and IDPA, shot with a lot of very serious people (military and LEO), and have carried full size guns frequently (still do at times). I've also watched a lot of those very serious guys put there 1911's and Glocks back in their range bags after the match was over and slip a j-frame in their pocket to go about the rest of their day. Yes, there are people that are dedicated enough to carry full size guns all the time. In my experience, they are the minority though and I've personally witnessed a lot of people who say their carry gun is X actually carrying something much smaller when they are out and about.

I just saw this thread, here's my carry info for 2019.
Kimber Micro 9, 9mm carried ~350 days. I'm approximating because it was slipped inside my waistband every morning even if I didn't leave the house all but a handful of days.
I've carried full size 1911's, Ruger Redhawks, GP100s and the Kimber Micro9 CCW since 1995. By far, the Kimber has been my favorite! I forget I even have it on me much of the time. And this is without doing anything special to make sure it's concealed, other than making sure I have an "overshirt" if I have a jacket on and take the jacket off in public.
