Do you really think the assembly line guy baby the engines just built?

Id have to say no for various reasons. One is the guys who built the solid cam performance motors are long retired or dead.

Ive actually never wiped a cam but did have a junk core start to flake off, but when its another guys motor/money one cant fly on luck alone. A wiped cam means a full teardown on the builders dime which many try to avoid.

Not saying your way is wrong but what would many say if there builder jacked a cam lobe and went on to say all he used was grease and trans fluid, it wouldn't fly.

It is a bit odd as when I was young a cam swap always went off without a hitch with little thought of a lobe coming off but things have proven themselves to be different these days. Sorta like running the old oem valve seats, some dodged it, some didn't.
