It is pretty unlikely microbes are going to be building up resistance to the microbial equivalent of getting doused in gasoline and set on fire.

It dissolves the lipid shell and denatures key proteins in the shell. This is not subtle.

In the evolutionary influence perspective for a microbe, it also still isn’t particularly common. Triclosan and the other problematic chemicals are much more targeted and more problematic from a resistance perspective because of it.
