Let's clarify some things
If you're the type of person who has a cruising car, and put's 60,000 miles on a set of plugs, then carefully put ant seize on the plug thread.
Then there me, streetstrip nitrous car. Never use anti seize....
When on the street, I use -7 plugs, then at the track I use -10 for nitrous.
Change plugs every run until I get my tune right.
My plugs aren't in the heads long enough to ever seize, lol
Plus, I never ever want anti seize, oil or anything else on the plug, I have to read the plug after the pass.
If I can't read the plug correctly, then I get holes in the piston....

I use it. Haven't had a problem doing it. Never had a plug seize on me.
