Heck, you'll even end up in the same concourse at SEA (I think the QX Canada flights come in in S).
It was just suggested as an option if nothing better was available. And EWR to JFK is very "doable" by shuttle since @530 at least from EWR to JFK you'd be going in the opposite direction of most rush hour traffic.
