Welcome to the cult.
The warning is because it would mean the power cord is running from the pot on the counter, over the edge of the counter, where people or pets may be walking around, to the outlet under the counter, and the cord could get snagged, dumping the hot, pressurized food bomb off the edge.

IOW, it's a warning to keep the cord short and out of the way.
I figured it might be something like that. Probably not an issue in my household, but better to be safe than sorry. I use an electric steamer on the island because of the volume of steam being vented and not wanting to use it under my cabinets. Doesn't look like that's going to be a problem with the Instant Pot, so being cautious, will use it on the back counter.
