Would that be correct?
Consider an example where there are powerful FM signals near by. An antenna with UHF only capability will receive less FM signal than an antenna designed to cover the FM band. There may be other examples like this, such as land mobile radio (police, fire, etc.). So yes, there may be situations where you would be better off with an antenna that is optimized for the frequencies of interest.
