You’re right—silicone does attract dust and hair more easily. However, traditional carpet or suede-style dash covers can really affect the interior look. And cleaning is very easy though—just rinse with water and towel dry. In the end, it comes down to personal preference.Supposedly it'll help prevent the dash from cracking or fading due to sun damage. Personally I'd rather just get the windshield tinted with clear ceramic film. Sun protection for the dash and for yourself!
Also reduces the interior cabin temperature. Since getting the windshield tinted, I park my truck in the Las Vegas desert in the summer time and don't need more than a cheap pop-open sun shade to keep the cabin temperature barely warmer than ambient.
I also think silicone would be the least convenient material for a dash cover. It'll attract dust and hair like a magnet and require washing or wiping down. I have a traditional Dash Designs dash cover and don't do much other than take it out and give it a shake every year or so.
