This may be true of certain very old aircraft but it's certainly not true on a modern jet transport aircraft.* Boeing's test pilots all do their best to do as smooth a landing as possible (it's almost impossible to do a hard landing in a 777 because of the gear configuration).* There is no issue with the squat switches not being activated no matter how smooth the touchdown is.
