The batttery is in a tray, but the leads on an external battery box are or should be long enough to connect the battery on the floor, so there is still a risk of hitting metal, hence why the advice is always negative first.
I have never had a battery with leads long enough to touch the floor. I have always had to use a plastic step to place the battery on before disconnecting.
 
Its good to be comfortable with what you know works for you.

For me and I suspect many others, the leads in the battery box aren't long enough to take the battery completely out without disconnecting both leads. If I need to disconnect the battery while its in the box, I could disconnect either lead without risk of shorting anything. From habit I always disconnect the positive.
