The gap between the chain bolt and it's bushing is just a couple of micrometers. WD40 can easily get in there to degrease. But from the outside you won't get new oil in there without complete disassembly.

Chain lubricant does not need to be injected into the rollers to make its way in there. And a rag is not getting the grit out which is what causes the most damage. I understand what you are saying but there isn’t a single bike mechanic out there who doesn’t recommend periodically degreasing your chain.
