I couldn't care less, but I might be able to care more. May be.

"I couldn't care less" is a much stronger statement and also most common. š

Right. The general point being, why add an extra syllable or word that contradicts oneās intended meaning? A similar example is something like, āI donāt have no money,ā which literally means that I do have money.

Actually, āI couldnāt care less,ā may be an accurate expression of what some one means, e.g., I care so little that I could not care any less. Therefore no contradiction ā the expression means what it says.
On the other hand, if one said, āI could care less,ā that would mean there is room for me to care even less, which may contradict the intended meaning.

The ācouldnātā form is the only one that makes sense in the context the expression is generally used.
