Right.

There's a bad habit among people to say "well company X does this 
therefore it must be smart for us too", but often company X does 
it because of some problem specific to their 
codebase/organization/product which ought not be applied 
generally.

I'd note the remainder of that document doesn't mention 
exceptions at all, so there's no way to evaluate the reasoning 
behind that one mention. It almost certainly is related to their 
pre-existing internal condition.
