I few tweets down they qualify this, saying that it might improve some things like indexing of the rest of the site:

My understanding is that if you have a very large site, removing pages can sometimes help because:

- There is an indexing "budget" for your site. Removing pages might make reindexing of the rest of the pages faster.

- Removing pages that are cannibalising on each other might help the main page for the keywords to rank higher.

- Google is not very fond of "thin wide" content. Removing low quality pages can be helpful, especially if you don't have a lot of links to your site.

- Trimming the content of a website could make it easier for people and Google to understand what the site is about and help them find what they are looking for.
