Looks like they only recommend for older laptops. I can just say, avoid bumblebee, then rather use nouveau driver.

Just looking at the bumblebee project page, the last update was 2013?

Arch wiki says performance issues. Package in the repo was updated in 2020.

If thats this commit, then its just a typo fix in the doc
