Oil type question

I made a query on this forum or another (I can't remember which) last year regarding engine oils. I was told that regular automotive oils are not formulated to operate in an engine/transmission/clutch environment and will break down faster as well as not properly lubricate the clutch. That is why we use oils formulated specifically for motorcycles.

Was that the correct answer?

Yep, like the famous line from the movie "Spaceballs"

'Merchandising, merchandising, merchandising!"

Hype sells when facts are in short supply. Heck, even with my massive electronic and mechanical knowledge, I dont mess with chemists, they are a special breed.
