Honestly, it isn't... have you looked at the inside of the plain ol' black one? It ends up caked in belt dust and engine goop... that wouldn't look so hot after a short while.... and you'd have to support the engine and remove a motor mount every time you wanted to clean it.

I asked about that years ago and never found one.

I dont think its a bad idea. If you showed your car, it isnt anything to remove the top cover and wipe it out.
