There are a lot of "oem" approved things that are ridiculous.
My reasoning for butt connectors specifically is the type of pot metal used in many of them is absolute garbage, and I've measured as high as 7 ohms of resistance across but connectors that are supposedly approved for my work every day. If I try to use that in just about any circuit I have, it will not work properly and i can't guarantee my jobs, let alone have a reliably functional product leave the shop.
Just saying, if you can solder a high current connection, it will be superior to a butt splice connector in every way.
Sorry if that was taken as "misinformation".
