Thanks for your report.

Yes it does, and that's intentional.

That way the link works also for Xenial users who navigate the latest version of the desktop guide online.

But Xenial will be EOL in a year, and we should probably drop that replacement soon.

We are about to drop the page you were referring to, btw, since we have:

https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/startup-applications.html

in Ubuntu which serves the same purpose without a need to install gnome-tweaks. (But there are more gnome-tweaks install links in the desktop guide.)
