Yes they can. There's just a bit more breathing room with the 3/4 than the 1/2". I like to use the 3/4 more on 12/4 romex.

Can these be used for 12/2 or 14/2 romex or is that what the 1/2" size is for?

The person you quoted said electricians don't use these (I took "these" to mean this exact product and not to mean insulated staples in general), but I can see how that could come across as saying...

It's still an insulated staple. Either one are fine for Romex. The guys saying to use metal staples don't know what they are talking about and metal staples alone are not approved by the National...

You must use insulated staples in some places. For example, Mass has this on the books:

Just simple cheap metal wire staples link. Probably less than $0.01 each in bulk.
These plastic ones with the 2 nails are probably 2 to 3 times more expensive per staple. But easier to use IMO....

Nope, these are for securing NM (romex) electrical wire and the nails are substantially longer and have more holding power than even the largest staple listed there. Plus, the portion in contact with...
