Is it actually the case?

The comment you cite says the code won't work on xterm or gnome-terminal.

I've checked with what I had available: XTerm(330) and GNOME Terminal 3.30.1 using VTE 0.54.1. On both terminals the last code sample from the post works perfectly fine as far as I can tell.

What terminal should I use to see improper behavior of the program?
