That’s often true but not always, a good set dresser will make a mess if the scene and character calls for it. Typically only for “film d’auteur” though in the more commercial things it’s almost always as you said.
It makes me appreciate shows like sopranos where you see an actual maid walking around to explain away the cleanliness, or episodes where Tony lives alone and the place is covered in laundry, pizza boxes and cereal bowls everywhere.
Recently my wife has been watching “This is us” and it looks so sterile like a hallmark movie, I hate it.
