The article is a fine example of empty journalism, not intended to inform, just entertain, and then lightly. No effort to be definitive or authoritative, their choices expose casual effort, it is really just "hey! Here's something interesting."
I'm a scholar in this area, and that article is shit.
It's an entertainment article, and doesn't make any claim to be anything else. I'm not sure what you would prefer in its place; can you give any examples of what you would consider to be a suitable treatment of this topic?
All that is necessary is for the article to claim not to be authoritative. It's written sloppy, with portions that sound authoritative, and portions that sound like a middle school science text. The author(s) clearly did not care about the content, it reads like it when through an AI enthusiasm filter told to not be so giddy.
