I wonder if this is a mistake only native speakers do, because I (as non native speaker) don't understand why anyone would mistake "of" for "have".

It's because when it's said aloud, many of us just truncate the "have" ('ve) and it sounds like "of". Then we go to type it and often type what we think it sounds like...
