Same for me, never thought about cleaning them. May have to give it a go, though I agree about putting WD40 anywhere near a brake disk

Always have done this. Its amazing the crud that gets in there. Use disc brake cleaner to flush them out rather than WD

Feel a bit like the prophet of doom here. I have serious doubts about this guy's mechanical know how

Just a few points...
Rotor carriers are steel and not aloominum

I'd only ever use brake cleaner as it leaves no oily residue and never any sort of oil lubricant which will inevitably collect in the bobbin's nooks and crannies migrate onto the face of the rotor through the action of centrifugal force

And the buttons are actually called bobbins just to be pedantic

Did anyone else spot the mismatched bolts holding the disc on. Ok I know I'm a bit about these things, just can't help it, I'm fussy where brakes are concerned
