Why not? If you don't get along the its better to end it than force it. That was the parents meaning. Do you have a counterargument?

That’s not how divorce works. It’s not an end if you have kids. It’s the beginning of something different. But you’re still tied together. So now you have twice the expenses, half the time with the kids who now need you more than ever, more reason to fight with each other, and possibly even more resentment, all compounded by your own personal feelings of loss and failure. Yay, what a win for everyone involved.

Also, realize that people don’t generally get to a divorce by talking things out and figuring divorce is the only option. Even if they do talk things out it’s usually only after divorce is inevitable.

> ...more reason to fight with each other

Is this often the outcome of divorce? I imagine that spending more time apart should reduce the total volume of conflict

Note the ‘if you have kids’ beginning to the reasoning
