Watch Winders for simple RO’s?

A while back I posted a thread about my 15300 going back for its 3rd service in 6ish years. Two of the three times were prompted by a date wheel failing to advance via quick set.

After a recent speedy full service - no refinishing - I was told by the nice folks in Florida that it’s recommended APs should be put on winders to “keep the oils moving” and to avoid drying out etc.

Now I’ve been on the forum for a while and I’ve been on countless threads about the overkill of watch winders - unless one has a perpetual calendar complication, or something of that nature...(right Padi? )

Question.
Has anyone heard from other AP service centers or trustworthy sources about using a winder? As mentioned, in the numerous threads over the years, this notion of oils drying up in modern watches has largely been debunked. I was surprised to hear the recommendation from AP.

Thanks!
