Conversely, my wife insists on not pre-rinsing the dishes and that filter gets real gross, real quick. Unless you mean the spinny arms, never cleaned those before.

Next you’ll be telling me she doesn’t pre-rinse the laundry before putting it in the washer!

I guess the best comparison would be, if you have stuff all over your clothes, you'd probably shake the clothes off before putting them in the washer.
EG, I use the 'weed wacker' to cut up stuff, or I am racking leaves, I get pants with plant debris on them. I tend to shake them off first.

That'd be the equivalent of scraping your dishes, not rinsing them

Well, sorta. I find it easier to rince small stuff off, and that doesn't work with fabric really, but your point is fair.

I don't generally have food waste on my clothes though.

you must not have young kids. Food gets everywhere for a while when they are learning to eat.

Giving the filter a quick wash once a week is way less work than pre-rinsing all your dishes.
Presumably plates had the leftovers scraped off into the compost bin before putting into dishwasher anyways.
