So what should I look for to decide if I need to replace them. I have
been replacing them every 3 months, but when I do I can barely tell
the difference between the old ones and the new ones.

Do you check air filter in your car? Likewise see it against light or
sun.

Filter"s" (plural)

I wonder how many people don't even know that there is a cabin air filter in their car.

I have bought 4 used cars in the past three years (3 in the past 12 months) and everyone of them had a fairly clean engine compartment filter but a cabin filter that was black and filled with leaves, bees and other debris.

For some cars replacing cabin filter is a PITA. Lucky all our cars,
it is very easy. Just drop the glove box and there it is. For engine
air filter, I use reusable K&N filter which is washed and oiled every
12 months.

It's also easy on BMW X5, goes in from an access cover between the windshield
wipers.
