That's true. However, I believe that many R programmers don't know when non-standard evaluation happens or what it is exactly. Functions with or without it cannot be told apart just by looking at the syntax.
While NSE enables the dplyr syntax that many people enjoy, for me it's too magic and I have trouble reasoning about variable names in other people's code.
