What does this have to do with sites being buggy? This change is about obvious intentional abuse.

SPA legitimately insert pages into the history to hijack the back button to make it seem like the user was actually navigating through a site instead of it being a single page. If there is a bug somewhere that causes it to insert too many of these navigations or add navigations that user doesn't personally think should be navigations I could see it being considered as potentially violating this policy.

If this was about intentional abuse the article would not have had to ask all site operators in existence to audit their entire website for this. Even if some random library does this without your knowledge can violate this.
