A cache is like trashcan, if no one takes it out, it will keep on building up until it becomes too much for the home (or, in this case, the system) to tolerate.

When you start using Mac optimization software, essentially you're allowing a knowledgeable developer to access your computer and run maintenance scripts and low-level commands on it.
