> how do you imagine clothes will last longer?

From my own experience + the fact that it dries at a much lower temperature.

I am questioning that fact. In my experience temperature is not destroying fabric, people used to iron their clothes for decades. Spinning in an underpowered dryer for longer will put more wear on the fabrics and stitching.

You can kind of compare the amount of lint you get, but often that is caused by the washing machine and not the dryer.

I imagine the mechanics of wear are very similar between a washer and a dryer. If temperature was the main contributing factor then ironed and dry-cleaned clothes such as uniforms would deteriorate much quicker than machine washed/dried ones.
