This is true. Except, critically, for the use case of templates in talk page
headers.

For your average talk page post, templates are substituted. Or, to put it
another way, it's not the worst thing in the world if changes to the templates
aren't immediately reflected. This is not the case for talk page headers;
templates are frequently used in headers on busy pages (such as Wikiprojects),
and users expect changes to the header template to be immediately reflected in
the header itself.
