That is true. At work, our CAD people use Autodesk Inventor heavily, and that thing will happily gobble up all the CPU cycles one can throw at it. (It it the one example I have first-hand experience with.) What I meant was that for most users of desktop PCs in an office environment, a faster CPU is not going to make much of a difference in overall system performance. (I might be a little sore because at work, users will sometimes complain there computer is too slow and then demand a new one with an i7, and then I have to explain to them why that is not going to help, while a RAM upgrade and an SSD are going to make a big difference.) But you are right, there are plenty of examples where there is no such thing as "fast enough". ;-)
