You've misinterpreted the author.
All currently-available Ryzen 7000 series CPUs have official ECC support, but it requires motherboard support as well.[1]
This conditional ECC support has been the case for all past AMD consumer CPUs going back to the original Athlon 64, but the Ryzen 7000 series is the first time I can recall that this support has been explicitly listed on AMD's marketing materials.
What the author is saying is that mention of ECC support had disappeared from ASRock's motherboard documentation. This was a notable change for ASRock, as they had explicitly mentioned ECC support on their previous Ryzen motherboards.
