ALL liturgical music is congregational

What .... I guess "hooey" would be the nice word?
Doing a bit of research because I must do the music for my first non-Mass funeral, (during the Triduum, of course.)
I came across this gem: In general, the music, like all liturgical music, is congregational and appropriate to the religious dimensions being celebrated in this Christian liturgy.

Gee, I'm just dying to hear the congregation's rendition of the Exultet...
Okay, snark off.
Why make such a sweeping, inaccurate statement?
WHY do people fabricate rubrics, rules, liturgies..... why?
