Most scratches tend be abrasions from the likes of sand and other small particles that get mixed up with pocket lint or whatever is in the bottom of a purse. A folio won’t do much in regards to that.
Best solution is simply a screen protector.

Why not? When the folio is closed the screen won't come into contact with any sand/lint/whatever from your purse or pocket, will it?
Unless you have a magical vacuum seal case granted to you by a genie particles like sand will get in. We are talking about extremely small particles that can get in to anything. Sand will easily get in between the folio case.
Sand cuts through any glass like a razor blade through human flesh.
Yes, they will, but much less. And even if they get in, the chances that they rub against the screen are slimmer. What causes scratches is not the mere existence of those particles, but their rubbing against the screen when you put the phone into or take it out of the purse, or when it simply lies in there touching other things. All this rubbing is practically non-existent with a folio case.

I can't even think of how my screen might have gotten scratched. But, there it is, a nice deep, short scratch. 3+ years with my 7 Plus uncovered and never had an issue. I guess I'll see how much worse it gets over time :/ Frustrated since I'm being so careful with it - haven't dropped it once yet.
It depends how deep the scratch is into the oleophobic coating. If it’s just a minor hairline scratch and you can’t feel it with your finger nail, it should dissipate with the coating as wears off where it’s barely visible, but in all likeliness, it will still be there.
I just noticed two scratches on my 11 Pro Max screen yesterday. My phone is in one of those sunglasses bag (the ones that double as a lens cloth) and then in my pocket alone. I've had every iPhone since the 3GS. Never had a problem.
My wife's iPhone 8 is almost 2.5 years old and she doesn't treat it with kid gloves like I do. Not ONE single scratch.
Not excited about wasting $20-40 on a screen protector because Apple decided to go cheap on their $1300+ device.

I have noticed some microscratches on the notch area of my week old Pro Max. Given that it is believed to be just on the coating.
Will those scracthes dissipate also as the coating wears off?
I hate that you guys are having issues with scratches, but thanks to this thread, I applied a screen cover to my new iPhone 11 Pro for the first time ever.
I hope you guys find a resolution.
