Well, diminishing returns don't set in until the third or fourth or nth wipe - the first wipe removes some quite dangerous and smelly material.
And on the other hand, making one's bed has zero health or smell benefits that I can see, and won't even impress 99% of the people one runs into - since they won't be in your bedroom noting how unusual it is your bed is made and how very Conscientious you must be.
I roll around a lot when I sleep, and I find making my bed daily virtually eliminates my tendency to pull the sheets off completely any given night. Whenever I do pull the sheets off they end up in a tangle that takes a lot of time and effort to get back into any useful state.
Then in that case, you don't need anyone lecturing you - you will do it just to get a better night's sleep. And in my own case, I find 'made' beds much harder to sleep in.
You're definitely not the only one. If I have to sleep in a made bed, I will carefully unmake it first. Bedding preferences are idiosyncratic enough that declaring one style to be Right is obvious hubris.
For a long time I preferred using a sleeping bag for just that reason.
