Why are you guys thinking that partner has 5 spades?, the average for a 2♠ overcall I think its close to 6.
I don't see anyone claiming that partner has precisely 5 spades. I see a lot of posters, me included, allowing for the possibility that he has 5. Surely you agree that he can have 5?
Those of us who bid clubs recognize the risks and I don't see anyone claiming that we are sure to have more combined clubs than spades.
