I don't think that's correct.  For example, the emacs manual recommends
it to users:

      In particular, if you want to apply a hook function to any
    programming language mode, add it to =E2=80=98prog-mode-hook=E2=80=99; =
Prog mode is a
    major mode that does little else than to let other major modes inherit
    from it, exactly for this purpose.
