Neither "over think" nor overdo. From my experience those who might ask this would not have a lot of similar experience and sometimes break something in the process.

If Ralph asked the question about the torque spec, he, of course, would not have the experience.

You would be surprised or troubled at how few parts on our cars ever see a torque wrench at a dealership.

Only very critical items get torqued everything else is just done by hand and experience. The techs only torque certain items to prevent issues and especially 'come backs' that the tech would be responsible for.

Hate to bust your bubble but torquing everything at the factory, Yes. At the dealership, No.

At dealership the best producing techs produce 80-120 billable hours a week. Think how much time they spend on your pride and joy. Most techs don't trust the other tech to work on their car. So, when someone posts their trusted tech. LOL
