I would agree but the shop owner was a good friend of mine. I think it was more along the lines of his insurance agent going over a checklist of what he couldn't do to get the lowest rate:
Frame repair, nope. Tubular tire install, nope. Etc. Want to do everything on this list? Sure, I can get you a policy for $2,000 a month more. Might have not singled out tubulars. John died of a massive stroke, so I can't check back for more detail now.
Having been in the factory management business, we routinely had insurance inspections, and they would give a long list of things we couldn't do without getting a more expensive policy. So they didn't forbid it but made it cost prohibitive.
