This. You lose most of your nice bokeh by f/5.6. If all you want is a certain kind of landscape shot, cool, it won't hurt you, but there's a lot of artistic photographers who can't do with that.
Shooting at dusk or dawn isn't just about the exposure. It's about the quality of light. Colors will appear different in ways that you can't easily get by futzing around in Lightroom. It was considered one of the greatest developments of Impressionist artists in the 19th century that shadows in paintings began appearing blue. No, tweaking the shadow tint doesn't do it.
Also, the original author should know that they don't need to stop down. They can also use a neutral density filter. But that doesn't change your scene's shadows or quality of light.
