Aren't the contact areas between the cassette and the chain and between the chainring and the chain unlubricated wear areas under your regime? If there is oil there, then there is place where dust kicked up from the road can accumulate and crud up your pristine drive train causing premature wear. Another question, how many miles has that bike seen since your last cleaning?
