I wouldn't expect a seller to concede on that, not in this market.

I agree, many of the vendors in that space are spammy.
Given the stuff I have found in the return-air ducts of an older (1940s era) house, if the house is more than a few decadeso old or if it was occupied by smokers or pet owners, would be prudent to go ahead and budget for a cleaning, and work it into your move planning (easier to clean if you have clear access to the grilles).
