Definitely. Any remote administration product can be configured in an insecure manner that allows anonymous remote access ... Including the one that they are trying to sell as a replacement for VNC.
In my opinion, it's just unethical marketing tactics. They aren't just saying that it is insecure if misconfigures, though. They are saying that you CAN'T configure it to be secure by misreporting the feature set.

Sure, you can configure them for logging, but who does?
