Probably a reflection of the POV expressed in this article:

FWIW I used a pHydrion 1-13 range pH strip to check pH of red wine vinegar = 4, of Simple Green purchased at Sam's about 15 yrs ago
and pH was ~9, finally Palmolive Ultra Strength dish soap pH ~4. Acidic pH is somewhat more likely to "hydrogen embrittle" than alkaline
pH, but the effects of aqueous solutions on hydrogen embrittlement of steel at normal temps (under the boiling point) and pressures of atmospheric
are extremely small. It is primarily a problem at welding temperatures which are high enough to turn H20 into plasma.
