I’ve been using my screen protectors for many years now, not sure I agree with the scratching comment. Same for the nano texture on my Apple studio display.
 
Nano scratches easily and diminishes some of the qualities of the OLED technology, but if your use case specifically benefits from it, it is well-reviewed

Nah, all iPad screens easily scratch. They aren't using the same glass in iPhones. Apple's nano matte is "blacker" than aftermarket but less than the glossy screen. I don't really mind and buy glossy and use a Flolab matte screen protector.
 
I wasn't aware it was more prone to scratching. Now you have me thinking...
It’s not “more prone” to scratching. Don’t throw your keys on it or try to wipe away smudges with a pocket knife, just like on the regular display. True, the nano is less hard than standard glass and will scratch in some small cases where a regular screen might not. However, this is typically much less of a bigger deal on an iPad than it would be on an iPhone. You’re not shoving this thing in your pocket dozens of times a day or setting it down everywhere. 99% of the time, the “sharpest” thing you’ll have near your screen is your Apple Pencil, and that’s much softer than your display. I wouldn’t worry myself if I were you. I’ve had a nano texture for months. My iPad is by far my most used device daily and the screen is perfect. I ordered the nano on the M5 and have no regrets about it

I just got the nano textured glass on my new M5 13” iPad Pro this week. The benefits of reduced reflections are major. My condo is quite bright and I’m always near a window and I have no problem reading the screen. I don’t think that fingerprints are worse, if anything they are reduced with the nano textured glass. I also feel that touching the screen and scrolling or writing with the pen feel better than the glossy screen. Your finger or the pencil slide better on this screen. Those are the positives so far of the nano textured glass.

The negatives are that yes, the blacks are less inky than my iPhone’s OLED screen. I also feel that tiny fonts are just a tiny bit less sharp. Colours are slightly less saturated.
