That was about ordering forks with threaded steerers in bulk. I assume when a bike company orders forks now the steerers come uncut. There's not much saving to be had via headset spacers.
If they're concerned about people stacking spacers beyond the recommended height they could leave steerers at stem + 30mm and give rides some wiggle room.
