What's the real advantage? Less dirt?

I use this and a lot of the local guys also swear by it. https://www.performancebike.com/squirt-long-lasting-wax-based-dry-bike-chain-lube-17oz-sq-dl-500/p1367995?v=404554

When I changed out my chain after Christmas, it was drowned in the purple de-greaser, from Autozone. I switched solution three time to make sure all grease is off. Personally, I think there are some on there still but who cares. After drying off, I applied Squirt lube and ran it through the gears for 1-2 min. wipe up excess, let dry and rode it. Reapplication of squirt every 7-8th ride is all its needed. Chain is super clean unlike oil which attract a ton of dirt. I like oil still if I was competing but a clean chain out weights a bit of lube and dirty chain. I can't tell the differences between them. as long as they are quiet, I am happy.
