That hasn't been my experience nor what I've seen in the very extensive UA thread on PreCheck.
I think the person's point was that the CBP agent said when a passenger has GE, he or she does
not use up one of the airline's Pre-Check "slots." In other words, getting Pre-Check via GE membership leaves open more slots for non-GE elites, per the CBP officer.
I have no idea if any of this is actually true. Just clarifying what the OP seems to be saying here.
