Personally, I find Helvetica to be extremely sufficient for reading text on screen. Maybe it isn’t the best possible font, but I think their statement is kind of non-sensical, it makes it sound like it would’ve been a problem to use Helvetica… I doubt it.

There was one version of macOS where the system UI font was Helvetica and it was horrible.

  It was Helvetica Neue, not regular Helvetica, in MacOS 10.10 Yosemite. In theory that variant had adjustments to make it more suitable for on screen use and I don’t recall it being particularly bad.
