Because statements that inflect grandiosity can rarely be taken seriously. It's a vague adverb that reduces the directness of a statement; indirect statements are minimizing in nature.

The problem with any piece of writing advice is that they get held up as absolutes, when often they’re just describing things inexperienced writers do. Ham-handed, too-frequent adverb use = weak prose, so we hear “never use any adverbs,” which is silly. Carefully chosen adverbs are often fine.
