In the case of removing limbs from a still-living tree it's not feasible to move the workpiece.
Have a link to the review you're referencing?
At any rate, the purpose of posting the diagram (both in original context and in this thread) was to show the method by which flush cuts can be achieved with a double-beveled blade. In fact, in some circumstances such a method may be the only viable one due to clearance issues, even with a chisel grind (that is to say, that the beveled face would have to be against the work to lift the handle above and away from the target surface.)
