ATB S quarters were minted for collectors and not general circulation.

This.

It is like finding a proof in the wild. Same for the W quarters. Condition is irrelevant, mostly.

No. These are clad business strikes, sold in bags and rolls from the Mint. The clad and silver proofs were sold in the annual sets.

IMHO, the mint bungled the Parks quarter series from the start, and that's at least in part why the San Francisco quarters are appearing in circulation.

Many people subscribed to the rolls and bags, hoping to be able to buy complete sets. Philadelphia and Denver coins were sold in both standard 40-coin rolls and 100-coin bags. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think San Francisco quarters were only sold in 100-coin bags. For collectors trying to buy quantities of sets, that created a weird choice: (1) buy three rolls of the P and D and a bag of S, and spend the extra 20 of the P and D coins, (2) buy 2 rolls of P and D and 1 bag of S and spend the extra 20 of the S coins, or (3) awkwardly keep the mismatched numbers. Then abruptly the mint released the West Point quarters into circulation only, and made the now-incomplete P-D-S sets virtually worthless for those who subscribed.

When I was still doing coin shows pre-pandemic, I can't tell you how many people tried to sell their P-D-S mint subscription accumulations to dealers at the shows. They found that the market was saturated, demand was non-existent, the coins were more nuisance than investment, and blamed the dealers for "trying to steal" their "valuable" coins. It definitely made for less-than-fun moments for the dealers. To avoid the issue, I finally made a sign that read "We do not buy coins minted after 1964." That solved the issue.

It doesn't surprise me that these are ending up in circulation. The Philadelphia and Denver coins must be getting dumped, too, but obviously blend in much more easily.

All mine came individually from coin show dealers. I always assumed they bought from the Mint, populated 2x2 holders, marked a price, sold. But now I have to wonder if the more recent years came from disappointed collectors selling off theirs.

OK, I see.. This SILVER coin that the OP posted has a low mintage, which came off a 2020 Silver set (427,191), do I have that right?

The OP coin is not silver. It is not even proof. It is a business strike sold by the Mint, not issued for circulation. Someone put it into circulation after it was bought from the Mint.
