Since always! You know how cannoneers used to bunch up black powder in their cannons before adding the cannonball? If there is to much ear wax already present and it's to dried out (how are you going to check beforehand if it isn't to much or to dried out?), you're just bunching up some of it while scraping some out. But the stuff you bunch up, will just sit there, until you bunch more wax into that plug... But what are you supposed to do instead? If you try to irrigate it out yourself regularly, you might end up getting a fungal infection anyway because it might stay to wet.. Ears just generally suck
