I'm confused, how do these generate any lint and how would that clog drains or vents?

Dryer lint is produced by the abrasion of clothes as they tumble in your dryer.

Hang drying doesn't produce lint. It seems like this is just hang drying but circulating warmer drier air to speed it up.

So I must be misunderstanding something. How is this generating lint that clogs your drain? Why do you have to put a plastic cover down at all? I don't put any kind of cover on my floor when I air-dry my T shirts on a rack after washing. (I don't like them shrinking in my dryer.)

It's not as intense as regular dryer lint. Seems to be like small bits of thread that fall off during the drying process (perhaps coming off during tumble wash and sticking to it while wet?). There's a pretty strong gust of air coming from the dryer. My unit came with panels fitted for the bathtub and instructions to use when drying, it's a bath/shower combo thing.

I’ve lived in Tokyo for a period during college and the dust was crazy. I read that it’s just from all the people living there, car pollution, tyre and break dust from cars and the subway, I suspect it’s not just from the clothes.
