I have a front fender on dropbar MTB for this reason alone. I don't give a shit if I get nasty on that bike but I got real tired of needing to deep clean that.

I just ordered just a set of qd fenders for my 80s touring soon to be more rando-ish bike. I don't really want to have fenders all the time, but for riding in the wet all day I think even just keeping the spray down is a good quality of life benefit. My general preference to keep dry in shitty weather is rain pants and jacket, but the fenders are a good gap fill for situations where the ground is wet but the rain's not falling. I personally think full fenders can really look great on a bike too, but I think I'd only bother on a certain kind of bike.
