Hmm, now that you mention it I remember hearing a top sushi chef say exactly that on TV a few years ago. Ok so maybe that's the traditional "proper" method... but I don't think I've ever seen a real adult in Japan eat that way. To be fair I've never been to a high class sushi restaurant either and don't usually look at how other people are eating, but I'd guess 99% of people eating at Sushiro or Kura are eating with chopsticks.
It honestly seems like a foodie / weeb trend, but I must grudgingly admit the people I saw weren't doing it the "wrong" way then. They were the true connoisseurs all along.
