I wouldn't know why someone would say that because criticism on its own requires writing of sort form. If it's creative writing they're talking about, critics doubtlessly need to know associated devices, techniques, and tropes required revolving around the media they ingest and review. Naturally, those can easily be applied to any one work of their own, and since a experienced critic (however subjectively) knows what makes something tick and what doesn't, who's to say they can't apply that knowledge as well?
