They still treat recording studios...

It is a false belief (and that's all it is) that you might remove room effects by listening near-field, but as you say, you can certainly reduce them ("somewhat").

I do agree with your assessment of the concept though.

Everybody comments about me listening in the near-field, it's certainly apparent to people ("audiophiles") who visit my room, for some reason people seem to notice it immediately and comment on it. So I guess it's not that common overall. It's not really obvious until you sit down and get a view of things, because the speakers are sufficiently large that you're not really really close.

It is much easier to treat a room to get a good sound when you listen in the near-field...fortunate for me. It might be awkward to arrange things unless you have a dedicated room, and can work around speaker/chair placement instead of "decor". It is the only thing that worked well for my room, it's not like I designed the room to be that way = discovered by trial and error.
