Does this advice translate to a resume or a LinkedIn profile?

Certainly applies to a cover letter and your LinkedIn profile summary.

I agree. Having been on resume and interview panels, it was easier to vouch for those who spoke to their strengths (both technical and non-technical) that would be of help to our organization

People act as if there’s only 5 companies - most of them are overrated.

This is a good insight. My rule of thumb has been you only get to name three features or capabilities to move the needle in a conversation with a prospect. You can ask diagnostic questions to tune your approach but if the first three don't do it, more won't help. This helps explain the psychology behind how you are evaluated.
