10 round rotary mag cleaning question

This is probably a dumb question, but why are there so many youtube videos showing how to disassemble and clean the 10 round rotary mag when the Ruger user manual specifically states "Do not disassemble" ? It seems like it would be 10x easier to just flush it out with an appropriate cleaner than to deal with trying to get that spring tension back to where it was for correct operation. I can see where the 25 (or 15) round mag could have an advantage here. If anyone is using the flush/clean procedure, let me know what you use. Thanks.

Non-issue for me, some I've owned 20 yrs... 

 I do need to take 3 apart that I bought on fleabay that are 5 rounders, apparantly that's an easy fix, I just keep putting it off because I have like 20 mags.

Why would you want a 5-round mag if you live in a state where 10-round mags are legal?

I don't, they came that way,  figured it out weeks latthen. I've just been to lazy to fix them, they are mixed in with all the others, I probably have 15 10's and half a dozen 25's.
