Thanks. But let me try to be perfectly clear exactly what I'm saying before anyone jumps to conclusions...Crash: What you say is interesting and clearing is often dished out as an attempted fix, but I remember one instance - just one - where clearing did fix a problem on my Nexus 5....though I can't remember the problem. It could be said that the rebooting effect of cache wiping did it, but I would have tried a simple reboot as well as other things first.
Once a month is good enough Alright
Completely agree. While you were writing your reply I was doing some rewriting to mine, and added a bit about it's OK to clear caches to try and fix a problem. You might want to read it again.I will admit, I often suggest a cache clear in recovery for some problems.
The reason is two-fold:
1. It is a shutdown of the OS
2. It can't hurt, and sometimes helps issues.
Users often accept this type of reply as it is better than the far too often suggested 'Reset your device'. I will suggest a reset, but usually as a last resort. I equate it to amputation. Sometimes it needs to be done, but it shouldn't be suggested just because there is signs of an infection in a finger.

What did you mean when you said " it is a shutdown of the OS"
