Maybe what they mean is that the freezing effect will cause more damage to MPFI engine if it happens.
But the actual reason is saving cost. Carburettor is cheaper, so they will give all kinds of excuses. If Euro II had not come maruti will still be selling carb esteems and claiming that carburettor engines are better than MPFI engines(This was part of the dealership campaign against santro when zen(carb) and santro(MPFI) arguments were brought up.
