This, as you say, is the case ONLY if 40b is the only mechanism for making units affordable. 40b was put in place as a last resort for towns that have outpriced low income households, as a way to get affordable units into a community, because the town has failed to do so.
If Arlington granted a permit to 2-3 projects that have enough affordable units, then no 40b projects could come in.
But that won't happen. So 40b succeeds in pushing the issue.
