But it makes for a lot of Oil changes and is more costly.
Very clean, no problem engine or save a few pennies. Hmmmm......
The OP is doing 3 1/3 more oil changes than I do and my engines are as clean.

Right. Because running the oil longer would inevitably leave deposits. Absurd.
I was running 8000km drains on whatever conventional was on sale in my girls windstar,5w-20,and there wasn't any deposits whatsoever.
I'm now running whatever syn I get on sale,usually pp, Quaker State Ultimate Durability or castrol 5w-20 for 12000-15000 km drains,on the same filter,and guess what. No deposits,no consumption and no problems.
Engines got 250k and running strong. Yep. Less maintenance means more money in my pocket but I buy my oil whenever I see it on sale.

This was the interval my girlfriend had her oil changed at , not what I currently do. I see nothing wrong with her changing the oil in her car at the intervals she was instructed. End result is a engine in extremely good condition with 146K miles.
While the interval is outdated, dang-it, she had the oil changed regularly! Who knows what interval my wife would do if I didn't service our vehicles! Worth a few $, IMO!
