Fully disagree.
I've used SPD dual sided (I guess these are MTB?) pedals on all my bikes for nearly 20 years, long before I ever raced a bike.
The only bikes I would prefer platform pedals on is a dedicated townie/cruiser or a dirt jump bike. I definitely would not want platform pedals on a road bike.
