Well, you _could_ encrypt the tokens but you can't hash them like a password so they have to be stored in some format in their entirety.
However, it seems reasonable to infer they are referring to storage in the DB itself. How would you suggest they encrypt it securely at rest for an out-of-the-box "setup and go" scenario?
I will note that a lot of the existing "plugin" OAuth type providers for popular web frameworks don't encrypt user tokens in the DB by default either.
