It is entirely true.
Source: I am one of those players who constantly fudges my spell slots because being told I arbitrarily can't play my class or do any of the fun stuff my character is supposed to be able to do is not very fun at all.
It's not just me, almost everyone I have played with in multiple groups now fudges their resources, either because the book-keeping is tedious or because your character just arbitrarily not being allowed to have fun any more fucking sucks.
