Not sure I agree with that. The probability of being stranded when taking an obscure ULCC is non-trivial, so it seems like prudent advice for anyone taking such a trip to have the means for some kind of back-up plan.
Or, for that matter, for anyone taking any trip via any means of transportation to be equipped to mitigate a bad-case scenario.
