Since your explanation makes sense, I wonder why there is that
recommendation in the man page

because without forking you just have one process, don#t need to guess the changing main-PID and watching the service for things like "Restart=always" is way easier - if that initial PID is gone the service has failed and needs to be restarted

well and because not every service has listening sockets other daemon relies on and with foreground/type=simple you can fire up all that daemons of that type in parallel without wait for the forking and so boot much faster wich is fine until explcit or implicit dependencies are part of the game - the implicit dependencies maybe very different and depend on the local environemt and what services are started for what purpose and when
