It is still less complicated and less work involved than other wet-lube service methods
If you are leaving your bike to sit for a few hours, you have to include that in your cleaning time. Set up and take down aren’t the only things you are doing.

I’ve lubricated thousands of chains...literally. Pulling out a bottle of any kind of lubricant, dripping some onto the chain while backpedaling and wiping off any excess (if necessary...I don’t because it isn’t needed with wax based lubricants) is more involved then what you describe? Go ahead. Pull the other one.
