I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. Sensors can be easily cleaned! I’ve changed lenses on my Fuji mirrorless in wind, dust, huddled under an umbrella, etc. On the one occasion in the past 5 years that dust spots were an issue in a photo, a quick few pixel clone stamp solved the problem.

For the average shooter, even one who uses their camera like a tool, maintaining it reasonably should make this a nonissue.

Yes if you use your camera as a hobbyist I agree with you. For professional use, the clone stamp solution is not going to work, as I explained in the sibling thread. In that case you would need to have your sensor professionally cleaned, which can be done relatively easily as you mentioned in the beginning of your comment, but costs money at least where I live (Sydney, Australia).
