It's pretty ironic that you're calling me arrogant but you're the one attacking the OPs honest mistake.
I'm an engineer as well (mech e), and you should know as well as I do, it's not a matter of poor design but rather you can't design for mindless application of cleaning products.

As an engineer, you should know that a well thought out design is one that is thought out for failures. Everything should have a MTBF analysis, and the coating has a very short MTBF. Consideration of the customers intended use and probable applications should always be taken.

With that in mind, No one is perfect. Ive made designs where after completion, i thought "crap, that was dumb of me. I shouldn't have done that. " and would attempt to have it fixed on the next revision, or if possible, issue a service bulletin to repair.
Obviously, not all repairs make financial sense because it might not be a safety of flight(I'm in aerospace) issue and is deemed not necessary. So myself and users would be forced to live with it.

This coating would definitely fall into that catgory of poor designs that will never get fixed because it isn't a safety issue.

And who the hell would research on how to clean a plastic lens? That's ludicrous. Maybe i should research how to dust my laptop to make sure i dont fry my battery.
