This is not even remotely true.
You are free to use as many tuners as you want. I personally have had tunes from 4 different ECUtek tuners on my car (Visconti and FA20 when NA, MotoEast and Delicious Tuning with the Innovate). Sure, if the original tuner chose to lock the tune file then a different tuner can't read or modify that rom, but they can certainly flash their own tunes.
