If a piece of lint will prevent it from firing g with this device, a piece if lint would stop it without it.

The device provides an opening and additional parts that the gun doesn't normally have.
Here's a pic of a borrowed striker fired Ruger that I cleaned recently. The top half was just as crudy as the frame. This gun ran flawlessly in this condition. If you think a bit of lint will stop you, think again. If lint or dirt did get into the openings of this devise, the only effect it would have in the most extreme dirty condition would be that you would not be able to push the mechanism into the safe position, the striker would not be impeded.
I'm not saying I'm for or against this devise, but give at least a little thought to the scenarios presented. There's no area more open to debris than a 1911 carried with the hammer back, yet we don't hear of horror stories about them failing to go BANG when the trigger is pulled.
Harley Davidson didn't think riders needed heat shields between their thighs and the top of the motor, nor did they need LED lighting, they made plenty of money selling special heavy duty filament replacement bulbs. When after market companies began making money hand over fist selling these items, both of these items became standard on the appropriate models for the shield and all models across the line for the lighting.
