I suspect manufacturers expect oiling for be part of regular schedule maintenance & overhauls. Hence, they see no need to oil in between. Of course, those of us who don't play 8 hours a day anymore, probably don't regularly plan for overhauls in timely intervals. (I haven't re-padded my horn in over 5 years and still plays like a champ, but could use a spa day).
Y'all should trust your own best judgment. If oiling seem appropriate, then go for it. Doubtful a clarinet is going to spontaneously combust by giving it some TLC.
