I agree with you mostly - it’s bad advice for people who know what they’re doing or have a specific reason for doing it, but it’s a good rule of thumb for a beginner or for someone who doesn’t have time to master design work who nonetheless does it frequently, like most small-shop web developers. “Don’t use the flash on your camera” would be a similar rule of thumb for beginners, even though there’s lots of great flash photography and there are many circumstances where you’d have no picture at all without the flash. I’d wager 95% of people probably go through their complete lives without ever thinking about how color works in visual media, and I appreciate posts like this one that may crack a few of those nuts.
