I'm not surprised, unfortunately. The last phone I used without a screen protector was a Note 3, many moons ago and I recall it getting a scratch on the screen from being in my back pocket and I was quite annoyed about it.
All it takes is a random piece of sand.
If you put a screen protector on it now, you can possibly hide the scratch and prevent further damage.
