Well that's really not good advice. Your personal experience may not be typical of everybody.
Everybody reacts differently to excessive heat. Heat exhaustion is not pleasant. I had a bout of it when I was about 12, watching a 4th of July parade. Since that time, I am even more sensitive to heat than most people......and that was 50 years ago!!
So......everybody probably should try vented leather if you can (or racing kevlar if you can afford it) but not everybody will be able to tollerate it. For those who can't, it can be a safety and health issue, equal to or worse than falling off the bike.
