The comment was addressing players who make decisions based only on the power of the choice rather than the flavor of the character. In no way was it meant to say every player who plays a conjurer rather than an illusionist is power-gaming.
Well, that example is dishonest. Someone who wanted to play a conjurer would not have it in their backstory that the conjuration class was boring to their character. That would be against the flavor, not for it.
