The post was generic. . If you can plug it, do so.

And it did! Except where it got hit when it was a year old. Started
rusting from inside the panel. Traded it while it still looked good...

Just make sure you don't get water into the alternator, AC clutch or
other open electrical parts.

Beware of washing some of the informational labels. I washed one under
my hood and all the writing came off. The labels on the driver's door
are blank---as if written with disappearing ink.

Water won't hurt an alternator or AC/clutch! Don't hit it with a
pressure washer so that a jet of water blasts past the bearing seals,
but other than that its harmless to an alternator or AC clutch. If
you've ever had an AC clutch apart, the electrical wiring (just a magnet
coil) is completely encased inside a plastic potting compound.
Alternator wiring is entirely magnet wire which is coated and
waterproof, and even the exposed brush/sliprings won't be harmed by a
little water. Heck, offroaders submerge their alternators routinely, and
lots of regular street cars have the alternators down where splash from
puddles can get to them.

No, the job is a little bit cleaner but not easier. Yes, I do a lot
of my own work and I used to clean my engine at the car wash every
couple of months. It's a waste of money and time.
Hmmm, you seem to be saying that a clean engine makes a big difference
in how the engine runs and how long it lasts but you can't measure any
difference.
Name a problem caused by dirty valve covers or caked-on crude on the
oil pan. What problem would dust and dirt on the fire wall cause?

I don't know where you live, but keeping an engine compartment clean
cuts down on the corrosion and that does make things easier.
I've never found a need to do it that frequently.
Go play games somewhere else. It's plainly clear what I said.
Why those specific ones? Why not road salt coating brake lines?
