Obvious answer is depends on your goals / situation
10% sounds like some BB rated junk. I’d probably just do equities instead for dat upside.

Here’s what I think he means (but i hope not for his sake):
ETFs are based on the prices of the underlying bonds so the etf price will fluctuate if say interest rates go up or the issuers have a higher chance of insolvency (causing the underlying bond prices to drop)
But if you just hold the bonds you’ll still get the same nominal interest and principal payment regardless of what happens to the bond price. So he’s ignoring the impact of higher interest rates on the NPV of the coupon/principal payments or any changes to the chance the issuer goes bankrupt and you end up with much less than you expect
If you said this in an undergrad finance class I honestly think the professor might beat you to death on the spot

bonds are ok if you regularly need access to cash for a small business and just need a place to store money
they also might be useful for stabilizing a margin account if you're writing a ton of puts on SP500 minis or some other more exotic strategy
but otherwise, i wouldn't use them if you're young and/or have other bond-like instruments
