I'm not so sure of that.

You should read more carefully (emphasis mine).

"FTP is the highest power that a rider can maintain in a quasi-steady state without fatiguing for
approximately 1 hour. When power exceeds FTP, fatigue will occur much sooner, whereas power just below FTP can be maintained considerably longer".
