I don't know of any usability studies on this topic either, but I would be
curious to find out if there are particular instances where they would like
to remove the visual focus indicators. Surely they're not saying that they
think all visual focus indicators should go away. That is very easy to
demonstrate the folly of as the others have pointed out. But maybe there is
some corner case that they are trying to make a case for.
