Because if he lost two words of his seed, it the rest 10 or 22 words will be useless. He will have to use service to brute force it and if brute force does not work, he loses his bitcoin. Spliting it does not make it more secured but worse. What will happen if one of two words are from checksum?
Just two words, to brute force it would be very easy. But the idea to split seed phrase into different parts is not recommended at all when there are better options like to use passphrase instead, or the use of 2FA wallet, or multisig wallet which are enough to protect your coins if done correctly.
Shamir secret sharing, passphrase, split seed phrase, multi sig etc are similar with each other where you're need two or more requirements to access your wallet. Nothing new about this technique to safe your seed phrase. I think there's no problem if you want to use this way to save your seed phrase, it's better than create song or poem with your seed phrase or convert to HEX code.
The idea is not also good. I can not see the post that also discourage the use of shamir secret sharing, but not recommended by established members on this forum that are developers. Convert words to characters is not also advisable as bitcoin developers moved from the use of characters (private keys) for backup and recovery to seed phrase. Using passphrase is easy and enough if strong passphrase is used.
