They said the same about dubbin rotting stitching.
I used it for many years and had not issues.
Neatsfoot can be acidic and may rot stitching but it depends on the thread used apparently.
Apart from my earlier posting about the praise of Dubbin on leather, I have used it on all my leather motorcycle jackets and boots for well over 40 years, no stitching rotted. I think Dubbin is well used on leather work and saddles in the equestrian community....
