I think quoting secondary sources for a question like this should be done with a greater care. What is written on that blog as an answer is more of a result, than a cause. IP is not removed from the interface to remove it from a routing table, which is can be done by simply assigning VRF. Removal of the IP address is done for the reasons to prevent inconsistency and avoid the possibility of duplicate addressing.
