What do you think the "flight training not "lead(ing) to an FAA
certificate or type rating" refers to?

"I don't care about landing, I just want to know how to fly it."

I've known a couple of people (and heard of others) who took lesson for
years with no intention of ever getting their license (or even soloing
in some cases). One example was an old guy who flew out of the first
FBO I flew out of. He had lots of money, but sucked as a pilot. He had
hundreds of hours, almost all of it dual. He loved flying, but knew he
wasn't any good at it, so he was satisfied to just fly around with
instructor.

The other type would be someone who can't get a medical, but wants to
fly. He/she could fly all they want with an instructor, but will never
get a certificate.

I suppose those cases could be looked at as glorified passenger rides,
but I would take that paragraph to mean these types of operations.
