I've now done this in Emacs 29, and I wondered whether all marking
commands should, but I guess not.  It's somewhat inconsistent --
dired-mark-files-in-region (which happens when you drag an area with the
mouse) skips the dot files for all marks, but I guess nobody complains
about that inconsistency.
