The mods didn't say that it was bad! In fact, they said the opposite! On page 1768 of TTTM, WA said this :

"As we have said previously, altering the physical environment of a website without consent is hacking. We can see that colored text on its own is not bad which is why we allow it in the Tech Lab."

They don't want users to use it anywhere else because it isn't a feature provided to users. But they allow it in the Lab because users are free to do tests with them, but they can't use them everywhere like they're an enabled feature.
