You're too focused on the word "extraordinary" but all this adage is meant to convey is that claims require evidence. If you ignore the word "extraordinary" the point remains the same.

The phrase is popular among skeptics because we deal with a lot of paranormal claims. And paranormal claims are by definition, extraordinary.
