Better advice would be something like, "Be the best version of yourself." This implies that the person is not there yet, and needs to work on becoming this person, firstly by developing self awareness and identifying areas for improvement.

Repetition is necessary for habit formation. Maybe it can work by reinforcing the legitimacy of the advice. Also hearing it from someone else/new might be just the thing that was needed.

It's even more absurd when you consider how inaccurately and/or insufficient people's perceptions are of themselves. Many will either not know how to go about it or have such a different view of who they are that when they attempt it, they act like a different person entirely

Anyway, "being yourself" is kind of the default position. "Don't try being something you're not" is really telling people not to attempt things that are categorically impossible.

It's a vacuous recommendation because everyone already is themselves, by definition. A better way to phrase it is: be the best version of yourself.
