Really?
That's only true if you don't aim properly IMHO.
I would say it would be more correct to say that one simply has to compensate less with an LD shaft.
Regardless of the type of shaft the ball should go where you are aiming, not "closer".
IMHO regardless of what one's aiming technique or "system" might be if the ball goes anywhere other than where you are aiming then the aim is the problem, not the shaft.
Therefore, if the ball is going "closer" to where you are aiming, rather than where you are aiming, then your aim is off, not the shaft.

I'm not quite sure that is completely accurate.
One can be aimed correctly, but one's stroke does not deliver the tip & the angle of the cue as intended when aimed. Hence an off center hit with an angled cue. Hence Cue Ball Squirt. For the same hit the high tech shaft should send the CB 'closer' to the intended target than a full maple shaft.
Depending on the margin for error given the pocket & distance the OB is from the pocket the difference could decide between a miss or a lucky make.
Everyone plays at different levels with different amounts of accuracy of stroke.
I would suggest a high tech shaft to everyone regardless of how accurate one's stroke is.
I relate it to cavity back irons & metal perimeter weighted 'woods' for golf.
Eventually every pro golfer went to them to help save them from that ONE bad swing.
