Some that have never built an engine or looked at used oil tests and just don't understand or have the experience to advise the need for early removal of that 1st fill. All new engines have internal build contamination and lose metal from parts mating. The filter gets some, but not all.
It's less than 4 qt's of oil. So money wise is trivial.
It's a inexpensive and conservative deal you should consider if you plan to keep the car.
On the 2nd change you can use the maint minder and directions from Honda or do like many oil experts and test the oil to determine when it's time based on TBN, insolubles and other items of concern.
