I have always had homes with the vent piping installed the crimped ends facing towards the roof vent.....that way allows air to flow freely through the pipe without any obstructions. If the crimped end is facing down....or against the air flow.....the lint would naturally collect on the crimped ends of the pipe sections. I don't know if anyone else has addressed this?......but would love any feedback. I tried to attach a photo.....hopefully it shows up.

We're getting rid of the original washer/dryer tomorrow so I disconnected everything yesterday. I have what appears to be the exact same vent box setup (i.e. crimped end against airflow) as shown in your photo, and the one from the home inspector. We bought new in 2021. When I disconnected the flexible ducting from the vent box there was some, but not a substantial amount of lint build up.
