But does non-boiling water not work well with lower-grade tea? I drink that stuff all the time and find it best with ~180˚F water. Seems like it's reasonable to just never use boiling water for green tea.

But your take is exactly the right one: Use the tea you prefer, prepared with the water temp that gives it your favored taste.
That's what it's suggesting, but it may be that a preference for boiling water is assumed when all other things are equal.
