Bro, it doesn't matter. Just because it's on the internet, it doesn't mean it's correct. That is a potential for injury, the movement is not in a natural arc and one is not supposed to go light on deadlifts.

yup.. you're right. last time i have tried squad using smith machine.. very awkward, some more my knee hurt.. i also feel uncomfortable when using hack squat machine. maybe its related to body posture. i do have some lordosis problem (arching), but already fix it.

that why some build are good for squating and deadlift.

i sometime use smith machine for heavy bench press, closed grip bench press and seated press.
