He's not totally wrong nor is he totally right. It's all relative. The neck pickup can have a negative effect from being set too close, but so can the bridge pickup.
Action is the same, it can be too low or not, and that depends a lot on the players touch.

Esquire Scorpion is my sole remaining single-hum guitar. And unlike most Fenders it isn't bolt-on, it's a set neck.

Cool, never knew that - I'd seen pics of her with a Tele years ago but I think it had a checkerboard paint job.

Re: Single bridge humbucker guitars?
This, I think, can best be explained by an example:
The songs that went into this were originally performed on a number of different instruments, including one of the most famous Les Pauls in the world, as well as strats, Hamers and (possibly, if you trust the promo photos) PRSes. I can hear that the keyboards take over some of the clean guitar parts, but I cannot honestly say that I am thinking that the tone would have been improved by a tone control at any point. Gary, of course, was still playing like a god in 1987, but this is probably a decent approximation of the guitar tones people who go for single-HB guitars without a tone knob go for.
I'd be happy to be as constrained as Gary was here.
