That is a true statement. You need a valid payment method in your Apple ID account, even for free apps. If you have no apps that offer in-app purchases and no subscriptions, you may be able to remove your payment method, but if you have a payment method that is expired or not valid you will have to make it valid.

For more information, see→If you can't choose None when you edit your Apple ID payment information - Apple Support
