MAF sensor disconnect when changing air filter?

Owners manual says to disconnect the MAF sensor and hose clamp when changing the air filter. I have a 2019. Looks to me like there would be plenty of clearance just popping the clips off ?!? Watched a video on YouTube and they didn’t disconnect either but it was a 2017. What is the consensus ?!? Thanks !

I didn't disconnect the MAF. Filter out, filter in. No big deal.

earlier models doing the disconnects and the clamp is helpful due to the design.

oh ok. They must have just kept the wording the same in the owners manual then. I just didn’t want to leave it connected and break something. I’m good to go then. Thanks !

Ya my 15 I have to remove the hose clamps and take the top completely off to change the filter. I also have to unhook the wire.

just pulled my filter out last night without doing anything other than popping the clips loose (2019 6.7).
