You may find a random streak of a scratch here or there but swirl marks are caused by accumulative damage. That's repetitive malpractice repeated over and over again. If that is a practice that you subscribe to then yes, you will constantly be dealing with damage on your paint. But when you practice good paint handling skills, your car can be as dirty as mine is in this video and still be swirl mark free. As you will see in this video, I haven't driven it in a while but check out that paint when I do a close up. Not one swirl.
