The quote you're highlighting is specifically referring to 'single letter' variants of the spike protein. Immunity from infection gives a wider variety of protections beyond just the narrow targeting of the spike protein.

The RDB portion of the spike protein is the part that allows the virus to latch onto your cells. We therefore expect strong limitations on how much this portion of the virus can change while still remaining infectious.
