What are you using as the basis for this blanket comment? There is
absolutely nothing wrong with tapped toroids. What causes problems is
treating them as is usually done for air core coils which have the
unused turns shorted out. On a toroid you do NOT short out any turns if
some of the turns are active. Otherwise you get significant loss and
heating in the toroid.
