Several possible reasons spring to mind:
1) Crap re-builds. Common with people who Claim to know Subaru engines, but actually don't.
2) Underlying fault not identified in each rebuild, e.g. dodgy sensor meaning that any subsequent rebuilds are doomed to same fate.
3) Not running the car in properly or neglecting servicing.
4) Driving like a ****.
5) Poor modifications.
Take it to APi, and listen very carefully to what David reccommends!!

4 engines,
Surely some kind of warrenty is mandatory for these kind of jobs.
Unless it is your own fault and you know it, I would be speaking to trading standards

Could be maintenance, modding, mapping, building (couldn't think of another m!), but driving? Nah!
