I can't agree with that statement. While data out may not be any faster, the seek time on an SSD excels compared to a spinning rust drive.
I've replaced many many HDDs with SSDs over the years, and even the cheapest of cheap shit makes a useful improvement over an HDD.

Especially those smaller, laptop HDDs. Those things are borderline useless brand new. After a year of use they can’t even keep up with idle requests from the OS.

Yes, that's where a lot of the SSDs went. They were amazing for revitalizing a few years old laptop that was still fine for basic work, but just needed a kick in the pants.
