I'm not in disagreement. I was merely answering the OP's original question, albeit, in a rather generalized manner.

Yeah, I supposed so, that`s why I added that last sentence The first part of my comment was more towards the (incorrect) site`s statement, just not to have the OP thinking the full resolution is available at any of these aspect ratios.

Other than that, image aspect ratio setting is configurable, indeed, as you (and others) pointed out, yet may depend on the shooting mode (as some scene modes, for example, may not support some image aspect ratios, linked PDF manual explains it in more details).
