Why don’t chain manufacturers offer chains without factory grease?

Great idea? Make a machine that runs the chain through a bunch of jockey wheels over and over again in a bath of solvent (and then lubricant) and let the constant flexing work out grease and old packing gunk and work in new lubricant. It could also help in drying a treated chain too. Seems like it could be the end-all/be-all chain cleaning and conditioning system. Discuss while I work on a prototype…
