I suspect that it’s a reference to the “intelligent monsters are people too, not just XP on legs” issue that comes up every so often (most notably as the root cause of Redcloak’s grievance).

That may not be in line with old-school D&D, but it’s very much how many people play the game today. See this recent thread. Rich, if anything, was ahead of his time.
