Their argument, perhaps, is that the arduino has a USB to TTL serial converter as the interface between the microcontroller board and the USB port. In theory, you can use that interface as a stand alone generic USB to TTL converter and in practice is used as such to program the microcontroller. It actually performs two way serial communication between a microcontroller and a computer over USB. Does dialout make sense in that case? Then, could the same be said about an in circuit serial programmer? It is basically a USB to serial converter with some extra pins/functions. It too does two way serial communication over USB.
