Do we need to address the idea of holding other variables constant when interpreting coefficients in MLR?

see this paper: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/1536867X1601600103

why the standard regression interpretation of "holding all else constant" or "controlling for [additional variables]" isn't technically correct.
