I think it's more of a personality thing. If you have OCD like me, then you'd want your cards to be as clean as possible because you enjoy looking at them, regardless of value. I've cleaned countless $1 cards for my own personal enjoyment that I have no intention of ever grading or selling. I don't want a thousand other people's random funk on my cards.
I also have dirty cards in slabs that I really really really want to clean, but to do so would come at a great cost because they'd just end up with the same grade again after cleaning and resubmitting, and the grading fees on them would be in excess of $1k each
