"Sure. I disagree with your logic though. There was a place in time where a 5,000km oil change was justified. The dirty days if carburetion, shitty tolerancing, and shitty oil made from Group I basestocks"

It's not just a case of carburation or shitty tolerances. (tolerancing isn't a word FYI). Changing your oil frequently and inspecting whats comes out with it or suspended in it is just cheap insurance against premature engine failure.
Sometimes parts go bad. And the best way to find out if that's the case is regular inspection and that includes inspecting your oil and filter. This is especially true if you abuse your motor and spinning up into VTech isn't the only form of abuse that warrants frequent oil changes and inspection.
