That's really only needed if you're using Internet Explorer. The other browsers all have ways to turn off the Java plugin in the browser, which is all that's really needed. But IE doesn't have any simple way of doing that (doing it requires not just configuration changes but manually editing several dozen CLSID registry entries), so if you use it you need to uninstall Java. The unconditional "uninstall Java" advice is only because the tech journalists aren't looking beyond their IE-only world.
