I run pf2e and love it, but I really gotta call this out as bullshit. It's actually one of the worst things new people can read about the game, imho. I read this a lot as I was learning the system and parroted it to my players. We're all experienced with TTRPGs, for the record. Despite all the chat from pf2e players that you supposedly cannot ruin a character with bad choices, I assure you it is possible.
It happened to me once, and only because a player wanted to do some stupid shit. It was still an okayish character. The others played what sounded cool to them and had no issues. Relative to pf1 it's night and day
