Jews: It is Korban

I came upon this in G Mark and would like to know the Jewish take on what is going on here. There's an obvious bias against this practice and idk what's really going on. I'll just quote the passage:

"For Moses said: Honour your father and your mother, and, Anyone who curses father or mother must be put to death. But you say, "If a man says to his father or mother: Anything I have that I might have used to help you is Korban (that is, dedicated to God)," then he is forbidden from that moment to do anything for his father or mother."

I'm not asking what Korban is. I know what it is. I mean what practice is this verse talking about and why is there bias against it?

a formula for a gift to God, dedicating the offering to the temple, so that the giver might continue to use it for himself but not give it to others, even needy parents.

I'm not sure what's going on (and "korban" doesn't mean dedicated to God). This doesn't reflect anything I have heard of in Judaism.
