Maybe I misunderstood; I thought the suggestion was that there was no lock screen/login screen at all and that the LUKS password was the only barrier to entry.

It was an educated-"joke", I'm quite particular about my laptop hardware, I've had quite a few for work and home over the past couple of decades I've been running Linux, and lately, fewer and fewer that meet my other criteria have had the hardware support for proper sleep/standby/hibernate; by that I mean I want to be able to shut the lid at the end of the work day, or at the end of the evening (for my personal laptop) and have my work laptop not be at 0% in the morning, or for my personal laptop to last a week or so for when I next come to use it, but I'd also like to be able to open the lid and be back at my desktop within no more than the time it takes to enter my password plus 2-3 seconds if I need to.

Typically I just leave them plugged in all of the time when I'm at home and put them back on the charger when I'm done to work around this, but that's not great for their batteries; more of an issue for my personal laptop as I tend to replace it less often than work replaces my work one.
