Sure, but filters that can equal the quality of really nice glass can cost a fortune, if they can equal it at all. I'm always using a lens hood, and a good lens hood does plenty for protection, plus reduces reflections & glare to boot.
I hardly use filters anymore and have never had an issue, but I prob take better care of my equipment then most do.

Filters obviously have their place, and on cheaper lenses I see why people use them. I'm mainly advocating for high end glass optical quality is all.
