The best answer I got from our editors was that you generally don't need them. Not that you should never, ever use one, just that they can throw people off.
It's more or less that you have to be careful with using them too often. It was just funny to me because I knew my editor and most of my writing class had this severe hatred of semi-colons.
Like, an unnecessary semi-colon can read as pretentious I think is what they're getting at. But anything goes when you need a specific flow. I just thought the severe hatred among our editors was funny
