I can see a bit of logic to the weight issue, tho given 3 - 4 oz
rods and sub-pound reels I think that it's overstated, but I
don't understand the bit about reel size, as long as it holds
the line & backing I (think I) need.

Note the crucial phrase "contributes extensively to proper gearwhoring".
Your mistake, I think, is in believing this has something to do with fly
fishing.
