OK, now you're pulling his leg a bit, but sadly, not totally untrue. 
Erhan, the truth lies somewhere between these two quotes; I suspect more than 5% of shooters reload, but not as many as Panzerschwein thinks. But he is right in that the HK-fluted chamber guns are not popular, though I suspect price may be a reason also. Sales of aluminum and steel cased ammo in the US, particularly in 9mm, is enough that it's safe to say many 9mm owners do not reload. And this brings up another point: What will be the result when (Not if, but when because it will happen) aluminum or steel cased ammo is shot in your annular ringed chamber? Torn or separated case? KA-BOOM? Torn-off rim with stuck case? As Zaitcev mentioned, the Seecamp lists certain particular brands and bullet weights that can be fired in it. This usually is not a concern to Seecamp owners for several reasons; 1.)They are a back-up or deep concealment gun, and as such, aren't fired as much as your compact 9-sized pistol might be. 2.)They are not cheap guns, and usually the owners can afford to toss the brass. , and 3.) The rounds it is limited to are all expensive self-defense rounds,thus re-enforcing reason #1. However, with a gun of the type you show here, people will want to fire it more often, and sometimes with aluminum or steel cased ammo. (For instance, I like firing aluminum and steel cased ammo in the winter, because I don't want to dig on a foot or two of snow to find brass) If you gun doesn't have that capability, and is limited to certain brands and bullet weights, it will land in the dustbin of history. The only reason the Seecamp isn't there is it has it's niche as the smallest .380; as I mentioned before, if you can wedge yourself in between the Beretta Pico and the Seecamp, and at a cost less than either, you can grab a good chunk of the market away from Ruger, S&W and Taurus.
