Can this be true?

Of course not.

The "therefore" is false. But the remainder of the answer can be true.

Is it not possible to save a LaTeX document in a format readable by
another program?

It is perfectly possible.

In general it is already in a format readable by any other program.
In most cases it is simply text.
