You will also find people that say you should prime (fill) the new oil filter before installing. I know on my car that this cannot be done because it goes on upside down. But on my motorcycle I can fill the oil filter with oil before installing it.
You can also find on the internet kits that pre-prime your engine before starting it, so I can only assume that there has been engine damage by running it dry for any extended period.

I can find lots of worthless things for sale.
I would not use their existence as proof of a need.
