The suggestion was that you can retain the recovery partition contents on another drive (eg a USB drive), which is something that supposedly can't be done on the MBA. [e: maybe you can.. although the link does not make it clear that it can be removed from the MBA's disk, and the point was really about the saved space] I agree few will likely know about it, but that doesn't make it invalid, nor is the space saved irrelevant to those that do.
