That's certainly not been my experience and I have used bar keepers friend for years. I know numerous others that use it as well. I use my pots often so I'm not worried about "micro" scratches what ever that means. I probably get micro scratches every time I set a pot on the burner. I buy copper because it performs better not because I want it for display.
Not all brands of copper pots are polished like Mauviel.
The web site you mentioned is talking about not using scotch brite pads, steel wool or abrasive cleaners to clean the inside of tin lined copper when you have stuck on food. It only takes about ten cents worth of BKF and a few minutes of scrubbing to return the bottom of a copper pan to looking new just like they show on that web site.
