That had never occurred to me but is a great question. I suppose between the poor conductivity of the fabric and the paint inside the dryer, the system is very well insulated. Maybe a dryer with bare walls could be antistatic without the use of dryer sheets. But maybe that would be a fire hazard.
As the clothes get dryer they become less conductive. Even if there was a perfect path to ground, the charge wouldn't be able to get there across the material itself.
Probably not guaranteed, I've often wondered why my clothes out of the dryer have a static charge when the dryer is plugged into a grounded outlet.

this case is conductive, precisely so the excess charge can be grounded by the power supply by being in touch/contact with the psu metallic casing.
the psu is grounded, but the static has no way of getting to ground (via psu) if the case itself is non-conductive.
