It's true, and to some extent the problem is that you hear about the bad HR stories, but rarely the good ones - in which they quietly take action, but nobody except the parties involved ever notice. When HR does their job right, nobody other than those people even notices that they're there.
That said, lots of companies have HR departments that are terrible, so it all depends on whether you think yours is trustworthy and competent or not.

Kind of the same can be said about IT. If they do their job correctly then nobody should notice they are there.
Also about finance/payroll and others.
That doesn't mean they can't be terrible at their jobs, or fail to understand what the true purpose of their job is. But that's a potentiality that's not limited to HR.
