Other than via Dyson's "most hygenic" marketing claim, where do you get the idea towels are unhygenic?
The evidence seems mixed or against air dryers, at least when compared to paper-towels, properly implemented. See for example:

I'm not a fan of the Dyson jet dryers. I can feel the mist of blown water, suggesting that it's getting my 'bathroom sink rinse' more places, rather than leaving it all in the bathroom. The power of the jets sometimes causes my hands to touch the sides of the device, which results in one more bathroom-surface-touch than I'd prefer on my way out. And unless I run my hands through 2-3 times, waiting for the unit's (motor cool-down?) pause each time, my hands still feel slightly damp compared to a thorough paper-towel-drying.
