Not trying to start anything here but unless your car is perfectly waxed up ,super slick and protected with a recent coat of wax( or your polymer of choice) and you are dusting off the lightest softest dust and you car has zero dirt on top of the paint your chances of scratching the wax layer on the car or the clear coat itself is very high.
Hitting the car with Quick D and a micro fiber doesn't take that much time and you minimize the risk to the finish.
20 years ago the dusters were all the rage. Back then our cars used different different paint than today. Some of it's much better in ways, in others it's not. Low VOC crap clear coat doesn't do it for me but we have no other choices.

Couldn't agree more and had this argument several times.
Basically a duster is yarn and paraffin wax, it will scratch paint.
A quick detailer, or better yet, a waterless wash adds lubricity to the paint and microfiber is far more paint safe than yarn... It's not even close to which one provides more protection for your paint as your clean it.
