Since that’s something you care about, I will offer an out of topic advice: robot vacuums (in general: vacuuming a lot) decreases the amount of dusting you end up doing.
I had one like that, it’s so dumb it had to go at random and often loses the way back home. I assume they still exist. The technology has definitely improved and you can jail break most of them. Last I brought was a little spy bot, honestly, but with some attention you can either overwrite the software (and keep the physical improvements) or block it from accessing the internet. [details figures out by my partner]
I think the point being made is, dust doesn’t stay in one place. Dust on hardwood floor or carpet gets kicked up when you walk on it, leading it to eventually land on tables/shelves etc.
The floors are the least of my worries because I spray mop it, it’s the dust on shelves, plants, irregular shaped stuff that’s annoying and much more time consuming to dust
It’s not the particular surface that people are concerned about, but more frequent cleaning of that surface might reduce overall dust settling everywhere
I’m saying spray-mop the floor once a week and you’ll take most of the dust out of that room before it settles on harder-to-clean surfaces, which reduces how often you need to clean shelves, plants etc…
Most dust in a typical household is from shed skin cells, from either humans or pets. And I do imagine that most shed skin cells just fall onto the floor at first and can be collected there.
Ah dang, I’m sick of dusting stuff

Are there dumb robot vacuums? I don’t want to buy a little spy robot that maps my apartment layout to sell to advertisers or whatever.

There are, but the mapping functionality drastically increases how well the vacuum works.
Yes, for some values of dumb. New ones? I don’t know. But many older ones have no connectivity at least.

It’s the stuff I have on shelves, hanging, on tables, etc that’s annoying to dust. The floor is easy to deal with comparatively.
Keeping the floor dusted removes overall dust everywhere

I’ve found that regularly wiping the floors helps quite a bit. You don’t have to be super thorough, just reduce the amount of dust in the room.
Not sure, if vacuuming would work similarly well, since it kicks dust into the air, which can settle on surfaces again…
