It hasn't been proven to be untrue either.

Unfortunately, tc is not an option as it is required to interact with
nft objects (sets, maps, chains, etc), more complex than just a drop.
Also, when building new features we try to maintain the application
stack as simple as possible, not trying to do ugly integrations.

I understand that you measure performance with a drop, but using this
hook we reduce the datapath consistently for these use cases and
hence, improving traffic performance.

Thank you for your time!
