Interesting.

I never thought about WHY, I just always preferred the justified look (and lament that there is no such option for HTML right now!)

Berry has it right

There is no substitute for the human eye in type justification. You HAVE to take a look at what your software does and tweak it here and there. Any editor worth his or her salt checks for bad word spacing and "rivers of white." You also have to check the hyphenation for bad breaks. Anything else is just laziness.

Need to be more specific

I think the writer needs to be more specific about the generalizations made in regards to page layout applications. Not all page layout applications treat these issues the same. Adobe InDesign handles type, justification, ligatures, letter spacing, and glyph scaling with more control than PageMaker and Quark Xpress.
