I used chainmail for years to clean my Lodge cast iron, then dry over a flame before using a paper towel to season it with oil. But I started to notice the paper towels would have black residue, very little at first but it started pick up more and more. I don't think the black residue is harmful, from what I've seen but I can't say I didn't feel a bit uneasy about it.
I now start by putting water in the pan, using the chainmail for large chunks, flush all that down the garbage disposal. Then I use crumped up aluminum foil to do a deep scrub on it and then toss the used up aluminum foil. Then I do another final cleaning with a cash iron brush under running water before I dry/season my pan.

The idea that stainless steel rings don't remove just as much "seasoning" as a scrubber sounds like some serious sales puffing.
As far as what's left on a pan after washing I've never found it challenging to find unwanted debris. Not sure about your pans but mine are spotless after rinsing with water.
PS: I don't have a dog in this fight so use what you want.
