I would take that with a big grain of salt. Marketing briefs
suggesting things without explicitly saying so are generally
not to be taken at face value.
Unless and until someone either finds an explicit statement
by M$ to that effect or testifies having actually tried that,
I will remain skeptical.

Not necessarily, although recovery of a partially lost lv is
rather painful.
And of course raid/mirroring helps - with software raid as
well as with lvm mirroring you can do it even with disks
of different sizes.
