 Is this real?

Yes.  https://www.investopedia.com/articles/active-trading/061015/how-are-futures-options-taxed.asp   
  
 Leaps are just a way to leverage capital in a medium term investment. You also can get long term capital gains taxes buying the underlying on margin why should a different form of margin be any different?  
  
 Taxes fuck investment profits so much already. Holding Leaps more than a year is fairy uncommon anyway it’s really not that big of a deal.
