Without disagreeing with that statement, I think it's worthwhile to remember that, for the people who do it, sound recording can be many things: an art, a science, a skillset, a passion, a sacred mission. But in most cases, it's also a job. And, as with most jobs, there are good days and bad days, and there are tasks that must be done, even if they don't work out as one would like. And there are often compelling incentives to do the job in ways that are incompatible with accurate audio reproduction.
