I know I am jumping in on the end of this, but that isn't really true.
Stevie Ray Vaughan never really used the major scale, and while useful in some instances, is not always the best choice in other genres or contexts. The major scale is useful to learn in terms of a better understanding of theory, so it would be good to learn its construction and how it relates to harmony
