It's one thing if you're "investing" money that you can afford to lose. Gamble it on crypto or blackjack, whatever you like.

But if it's your life savings, put it in an index fund and forget about it for a few decades.

I think that is sound advice. I think it's very unlikely however that all people will happen upon that advice and agree that it is sound. Especially unlikely with an entire industry of financial sales people who have a vested interest in selling all kind of financial products.
