Honestly, for me personally this doesn’t make any sense.
Firstly most fabric softeners are terrible for the moisture wicking abilities of fabrics. You should never use them on towels, bed sheets or any clothing that you expect to absorb sweat to some degree. They are known to contain chemicals that can pollute the ground water and they also cost money.
Now taking into account all that and the fact that using a dryer is very energy intensive, I find making all those comprimises just because you want your clothing to be soft is less than understandable.

You forgot to mention that machine drying also leads to clothes breaking/wearing down much faster
