You're not wrong, but the seals are not exactly perfect on
chains. You clean them to keep the crud from building up
and then being forced past the seals.
You should use something like Maxima Chain Lube to
soften the abuse that chains receive as they spin around
those hardened steel countershaft sprokets.
If you take a short ride with a dry chain, and then clean
and lube the chain properly, you will hear and feel the difference.
WD-40 is not recommended for cleaning chains because
the solvent may not be compatible with the seals within the chain.
But I've used it for years for cleaning chains and never had any trouble.
