Global character of ABC/Spziro inequalities

In [M24] it is asserted that "considering $abc$ triples of the form $(1,p^n,1+p^n)$ for a prime number $p$ and an arbitrarily large positive integer $n$, one can verify that ABC/Szpiro inequalities can never be obtained as a result of summing up local inequalities at each prime of a number field."

Is this true, and what are references for this, or could you provide a sketch of the proof?

(Please note that I am disregarding all the controversial context and content of [M24], and focusing only on this mathematical statement).
