Yea the author insinuated that stock 3D libraries were also an advantage. Anyone who's worked in animation or video games knows you can't generally just grab a bunch of assets from a store and put them in a work and expect them to look like they belong to the same world. You're gunna have to do some shading work at the minimum.
Unless you happen to make movies that share very similar styles, such as Pixar, which already has a massive digital library of assets they pull off the rack whenever they want.
Another thing to look at is "Smash and Grab", which is the original talk about an internal Pixar project to give a small team a really small budget and timeline, no bureaucracy, but access to Pixar tech, and make a quality short film, and it's doing pretty well.
