I considered this a pretty good joke until I thought about it. Today I
did a few hundred exposures in an outdoor, dusty locale, and kept the
lens caps in my pocket until I got back in the truck. I kept the lenses
pointed down unless on-subject. Checking just now, the lenses will
require a shot or two of air before the next use, but nothing more. Big
ol' lens shades contribute to their protection from inadvertant bumps
and fingerings.

Not to say I am a "Pro photographer", just remembering that the advanced
P&Ss I used recently provided a cap lanyard, and that twenty years ago I
twisted a small screw into a lens cap because none of the sticky kind
would stay stuck.

Just a warning, my camera was broken because the lens cap cord got
snagged. I am now looking for one with a release so the cord breaks
first. Or I will just use some light cotton cord.

All in all, if I could be any animal, I would want to be
a duck or a goose. They can fly, walk, and swim. Plus,
there there is a certain satisfaction knowing that at the
end of your life you will taste good with an orange sauce
or, in the case of a goose, a chestnut stuffing.
