I don't think them remembering it is the issue.

And as for the "hygiene" reason, that's rubbish. Uncut penises are perfectly fine, as long as the person with that penis is hygienic and washes properly.

I think I read somewhere once that Islam says "excrements" could collect under the foreskin and cause cancer. No actual evidence for this whatsoever.

It's almost like saying "Let's cut people's arms off because it gets very sweaty and dirty in their armpit otherwise. As opposed to, you know, lifting your arm up and having a wash".
