No, that comes from people thst dont understand the difference between decorative, industrial hard, and(i think the correct term- which Im not familiar with) thin dense chrome plating. Ammonia is extremely corrossive to copper, and somewhat nickel.
Decorative chrome has a base of copper and nickel. Thats why chrome bathroom accessories in sinks always have copper showing, people use ammonia-based cleaners and the ammonia corrodes it and flakes off the ni/cr topping.
Chrome in a bore is bonded directly to the steel, so the vulnerable layer, does not exist.
