That's not actually true.  Stacked yagis are only optimized at one frequency, but they are pretty tolerant of that spacing.  LOTS of hams have stacked multi-band tribanders and they do have worthwhile additional gain on all three bands.  If positioned at the right height they also have the advantage of at least partially filling in the nulls that would otherwise exist with a single antenna.

You can verify all of what I just wrote with a modeling program like EZNEC.
