The whole point is to not leave starches/sugars in places long enough for a biofilm of plaque to form.
The problem is, teeth are poorly shaped to clean and the interface of the gums is down right hard to get to.
So what they're trying to do is to get you to clean often enough that you manage to get some of the hard to get areas covered but not so often that you're sanding the enamel of your teeth.
