As with all generalizations it's only part true.

The diffration problem with small apertures will soften the entire image, but DOF increases. In some cases the increased DOF heavily outways the softening. Macro & pinhole photography are examples where you might want/need to go smaller. (Typical pinhole 'lenses' are f/145 or smaller)
