Of course, this is true, but do not forget the strong signals that come backwards, from other transmitters at a populated antenna site. Those can do nasty things in the PAs, so some filters and isolators can hardly be eliminated. A high power wideband system out in the wild is another beast than hooked to your lab setup.
I don't think myself or anyone else was ever implying that *all* front end filtering should be eliminated. Surely, if one is operating a high power transmitter at a populated side, then appropriate precautions would be in order. We've drifted very far off-topic at this point. I have nothing else to add.
