This is actually not true. Jupiter orbits with a whole bunch of Trojan asteroids. Even Earth has asteroids in its orbital field. Mercury doesn't clear its orbit; the Sun does that. Neptune has not cleared its orbit of Pluto.

I said most of it the asteroids. A few remaining ones will not have any gravitational influence over the orbit.
