Is bullshit you don't want that much salt
If the ocean is the baltic sea then it makes sense as it has salt content ranging from 0.5~1.5

Me who never stirs and never gets sticky pasta...
137 times more powerful than the Electromagnetism you try and use to tear them apart, behold the Strong Pasta Friendship Force!
I have actually never seen this before. Other comments are saying its because you dont salt your water and i do so probably thats why. It also makes the taste better so overall recommended.
You can add some oil so pasta won't also stick when you have cold leftovers. I add both oil and salt in the very beginning, because there's no reason to not do that, and I have a feeling of the right amount compared to the amount of water.
And I stir once, about a minute after putting the pasta in, because something tends to stick to the bottom in the very beginning. Afterwards, it's just not necessary.

If you really like to impregnate your pasta, so that it won't absorb your sauce (or less well), then you are right about the there-is-no-reason-part in your answer.

Do you not put just a little oil to make them unstick with each other?
Nah that is another myth, it will just make it harder for your sauce to stick to your pasta. Add salt and it won't stick together.
Dat feel
Sticking together is what good pastas do.
Do you cook your pasta in a large pot, with plenty of boiling water, and a good amount of salt? Usually I just stir once just after putting the pasta in, and I never have noodles sticking together.
It depends on the pasta (form, freshness, self-made... etc). Some has to be stirred 3-4 times others just once, in my experience.
My pot would have to be 3x its size to fit the amount of water a single package of pasta says I should use.
1kg to 10l
Do you have a bathtub in your stove?
1 kg of dry pasta is enough for 10 people! Do you often cook for that many people? (Genuine question)
That'd be two people, five meals each so a few days. That's how I usually do it
Not in my experience, I usually count 200g per person

Salt and Oil would do wonders….
Oil is bad for sauces sticking to pasta though.
