It's nice that you bring an outside, detached perspective. I'll ponder this a bit more.
One thing that was absent in the article are the crypto tricks some people are researching again with batching, aggregation, entroot, etc. As far as I can tell that is pretty much only pushed forward by core-adjacent people at the moment. The consensus cleanup is also making some progress.
