My concern is training specifically and exclusively.

There are surely incorrect ways to train and going too hard on recovery days or during base training are mistakes many make. It is not possible to understate how slow and boring a recovery ride or a base miles can be. Most simply go too hard and call it recovery because its Monday or base because it happens to be early spring.

To the OP's question of why, recovery and base miles remain valid reasons to ride slow. That hasn't changed.
