No. They're wrong.
Regular bar tape has downsides, but being uncomfortable isn't one of them.
Cons:
- less durable*
- can unroll/rip as it wears
- more faff to install
- need bar ends (probably sourced from a parts bin because the ones in the pack will be for larger bar internal diameter
- ergon grips are still in
*(grip position means less moving about and resting than with drops so you put more wear in a single spot than it's designed for)
- less durable*

Interesting, is this why everyone uses grips on curvy bars? I’ve only ever used drops until recently, wearing mitts.
