Guys... please help me to understand polished center links...

Having owned many Rolexes, I recently picked up a DJ 41... love it! It may be one of the most perfect sized, composed watches I have ever owned...
But this is my first Rolex with these mirror-finish PCL's... (well, no I had a Daytona years ago... and a Milgauss...) but I guess I never really payed attention to these PCL's... they get swirls from even the softest, lightest touch of a microfiber...
I love the watch, and intend to keep and wear it.
But what do think is the 'philosophy' of this 'impossible' finish?? Is it 'meant' to scratch?
I am NOT looking for comments such as 'wear it and let it scratch,' etc etc. I am actually asking, why do you think Rolex designed these watches essentially to scratch merely 'looking at them?'
These links are on all DAYTONA, all Milgauss, all Skydweller, all DJ's, and that's just off the top of my head...
Since it is impossible, under any circumstances, to not scratch these PCL's... what do you imagine the notion is from Rolex??
DJ's in particular, are conceived and spoken of as the "every day" Rolex... yet... ?
What do you make of this design choice?
And finally, there is MUCH to love about the DJ41... I will discuss that another time... no regrets... but what's your thoughts on the above?
