I highly doubt open air is going to drastically reduce component life. I don’t see how open air is anywhere near as bad as some of the negative pressure and unfiltered builds typical of OEMs for dust build up. I don’t even think dust causes “static shocks” in computers, it only clogs ventilation leading to overheating primarily.
Open air certainly is a choice and cases do function to better guide airflow when designed and built in correctly

My understanding of the association between dust and static shocks are that the friction between dust particles necessarily creates static charges.
