There's not even any dirt on potatoes. They must pressure wash them, (you also don't eat them raw).

I worked in a produce department for a bit and the lettuce definitely had dirt and the occasional bug in it before we trimmed and rinsed it

Lettuce is also the most common vegetable to be infected by salmonella.

All lettuce or certain varieties?

I still give them a good rinse and rub with a sponge.
