This is the same reasoning that apparently makes it a big "no no" to point out that formula milk is inferior to breastmilk, though. People are afraid to let others know important things that might actually help others to make healthier choices, for fear of "upsetting someone".

Choosing to use formula milk increases the risk of childhood cancer by several degrees, and increases the risk of SIDS by FOUR TIMES. But you're not allowed to mention that, ever, to anyone, for fear that you might make the large proportion of mothers who "find breastfeeding too hard" feel guilty. Oh no. God forbid. Better just bury this important public health information that could potentially save thousands of infants from a needless death, to spare people's feelings. Right?
