What parent wrote - he has time and is responsible for managing people.
What you might not see he is responsible for giving his time to people who contribute positively. Spending time on pulling someone up is taking time from solving issues of others. Where their issues are probably more tied to job at hand and delivering value to the customers.
So what he means is that yes, one should help someone who falls behind but it is not fair to put too much effort that will be taken away from others. It is also not fair for the customers.
How can you judge what is fair share of time to help someone? It depends on a situation of course but mentoring someone 1 on 1 for months or making day a week only for such person is just too much.

So a manager only has to manage people that are good performers and easy to manage, but those that are hard to manage should be just fired? That sounds a bit too convenient for the manager. If someone's underperforming then it is absolutely the manager's duty to correct that through coaching and leadership before they reach for drastic measures. Btw, let's not bother to use the customers as an argument. They don't give a crap that Bob from accounting is underperforming. This is normal in any company and par for the course
