Gents, you will find varied philosophy between TFP recommended chemicals and how to apply them when compared to various pool makers, installers, and local pool supply companies. Many of this is based on company preference, sales, or outdated industry philosophy. Same goes for recommended levels. As pool owners, we ultimately have the right to choose what we feel comfortable using for our pool, but in regards to MA use, here are a few more discussions by experts here at TFP:
Muriatic Acid in a Fiberglass Pool
muriatic
Lowering alkalinity in Fiberglass pool
Muritc Acid
A pool is a major investment, so if someone choses to use dry acid to lower TA/pH for example, we respect that choice. But here at TFP, MA is a staple product that has proven over many years to be safe for all pool surfaces when applied properly (dosage, poured slowly at return jet(s), pump running well for enough time, brushing, etc). Like I noted above, if you were to compare TFP recommended levels for each item, you'll wonder why the pool industry has such different recommendations there too. They are slowly updating some of those outdated concepts, like CYA management for example, but there are still various differences across the board.
