There is simple use case that will prove this page is giving false

Any AS owner with default route only (yes it happens a lot) users

get:
"YOUR ISP TERRIBLE, HIS BGP NOT SAFE!".
But he have nothing to validate! His BGP is implemented safely,
its just his upstream is not validating routes.

So, that same ISP who is not validating because it has a default route
could push its providers to do validation and then be as safe as other
validating themselves ?

Typically, those who have "default route only" are too small to be heard,
and their "wishes" doesn't go beyond the first line of support.
Not to mention that it does not work at all if upstream is a monopoly,
especially a state monopoly, who wont move a finger for "optional features".

And most important, the most common answer:
All Tier-1 implemented it? No.
Major hosting operators, such as AWS, gcloud, etc? - No.
So...
