It comes from tourney play where the sidepot is dry and someone is up for elimination. That's all. If there is a player short stacked who goes all in, and two players call - meaning there is no sidepot yet, just the main one - it's bad etiquette (and dumb play) to bluff on the flop and force someone out who might have made a better hand than the short stack. This logic doesn't apply to cash games, although it's still of questionable value to bluff into a dry sidepot when your hand is weak.
