You can Google that, and you'll see it's like a stock phrase.
It's not that it's not electrically designed for it, or that some devices don't have nice pop-out side slots, but pry those little suckers in and out of slot wedged next to a SIM card under a battery often enough and something bad happening is not far fetched.
I think that may be on the level of McDonald's warning that coffee is hot. CYA legalese. Micros are probably not as robust as regular SD but I've not had an issue with them so far, though I do try to treat them gently. I know someone who has accumulated a bunch of unlocked phones over the years and when he has visitors who need temporary phones he can be swapping SIM cards like a maniac. So far they've all survived, and all his "travel through Europe without roaming" ones too.
