I'm an every time after shooting guy too - and if I ever went a month without shooting them I'd clean them just for the time factor since the last clean to make sure all is still well and lubed properly.
That hasn't happened yet though!
For me as a mechanical dunce it's a form of insurance. I have about the least gunsmithing knowledge of anyone who shoots regularly, so I do not trust myself to spot incipient defects let alone fix them, so by rigorously and thoroughly cleaning every time I at least make it somewhat less likely a problem will develop I don't have the skills to deal with.
Cleaning I can do, and do well.
