Sorry, I did not read your first post carefully enough, I thought we're talking about the 10-30 VR.
Fibres are a reason to maybe explore how to get rid of them, I agree. And yes, I do that regularly with lenses here
And I also agree that it makes you wonder how these things got in there.
Regarding Nikon's passion to build retractable lenses: I honestly don't see any other advantage than to have a smaller lens size for transport and storage. Personally, I did not like it on the Nikon 1 lenses, on the DX kit zooms for their DSLRs and I am quite surprised to see it as a "feature" on Z lenses now.
