It is essentially always delegated to the FO...FO's don't even bother to ask, they just do it. I don't ever recall seeing a SKW CA doing a walk-around unless it was IOE
I think they just put that in the manual so they can hold the CA responsible.
The post flight should always be done, and should be just as thorough as the pre-flight, especially at an outstation RON. It's good business sense more than a safety issue. I've had several airplanes grounded on the morning flight cuz the inbound crew didn't notice the bald tire spot, or bent flap that had been nailed by a goose.
