Deck Stair Stringer Spacing?

According to TREX (the leading brand of composite decking) the stringer spacing should not exceed 9" for their “enhance” line or 12" for their premium “transcend” and “Select” lines.
I’m 150 lbs and I have found decks with composite stairs on 16" OC spacing to be too flexible and I call them out (with reference to manufacturer instructions below)
