You don't want anything in your engine that isn't welcome there. While those products will clean well, wouldn't you rather have gasoline residue than some alien chemical in there? Same reason you don't sandblast anything that can allow sand into the internals. The cleaning is for the copper mesh anyway, not the outer can.
