You don't have to accept it. Caveat Emptor!
Though I must admit, to date I've not seen any fingerprints on new Lunt optics.
That print may or may not be the manufacturer's fault, but they are not good (yes, they can degrade coatings) and should be cleaned ASAP.
Dust...well a non-issue in my book. Some dust settling in transit is inevitable and is nothing a can of dust-off won't fix.
