This is very good advice!
The same goes for a new automobile. I am still driving my 1987 Nissan
Pathfinder with 348,000 miles on it. Runs great - had regular oil changes
every couple thousand miles. The first oil change at 100 miles is the
critical one. It washes out all the little metal particles that occur during
the break-in period.
Why should a small engine be any different??

Actually, it's more critical in a small engine. Small engines don't
have an oil filter.
