Part of the problem is that it is on a dwarfing rootstock, as is
almost unavoidable nowadays, and those distort growth badly.

Does this apply to non productive plum trees too?

Wiser not to prune plum trees unless you absolutely have to.
Bit late in the season now to do anything to them. RHS notes are OK
