That lid is there to trap heat during cooking. Protecting it is important too.
Comment on should the BBQ cover be put back on after every use ... or just once at the end of BBQ season

The bbq lid is not a cover, it is part of the cooking apparatus.

It is both, but like anything else exposure to the elements means some kind of replaceable protection is a good idea. Similar to parking a car in a garage or those car covers people use to protect a car parked for a long period of time.

OP calling the BBQ lid a cover is like calling the roof of a car a cover.

It covers the grill itself, serving as both a way to keep the internal temp where you want it and to protect the inner parts from the elements like the retractable roof on a convertible.
If you left the lid off the grill and other internal parts would would get rusty a lot faster. A BBQ lid does both, although a real cover is better as it also protects the lid.
