In a wall of large sweeping statements, this one is interesting because it's immediately identifiable as misinformation and bunkum by following the link.

I go to the website and there's a large yellow banner telling me it's not aimed at "tinkerers playing with their own setup". I scroll down and there's bold text stating that if I want to theme my own system "that’s fine with us" with a polite warning that I shouldn't report my theme bugs upstream.

It's also curious that it's a website endorsed by people who are currently developing non-GNOME GTK apps, which apparently "nobody" wants to do.

If it's aimed at distros - and not community sites like gnome-look.org - where are the distro bugs filed by these app developers, and why aren't they linked to from the page as examples?
