If you're normally one to detail the crap out of your car post wash (e.g. dry, wax, sealant, etc.) making sure you get the gloss paint to shine sans any water spots, then matte paint would certainly seem low maintenance. Since the paint isn't reflecting as much light, you won't notice those sorts of deviations as much and a quick blow dry would suffice on matte where it might not have with gloss.

The issue is, the people that put this much care into their cars are also the ones to fuss over small scratches in the clear coat, "swirls", etc., and you just can't fix those in the same manner with matte paint.
