I can't access TFA at the moment, so I could be off base. Perhaps that quote is a jab at people who claim competency where none exists? I personally know front-end devs who will claim back-end mastery cause they set up a Digital Ocean droplet. I mean it does take a bit of command-line know how that a non-tech person will probably struggle with, but that's far and away from being full stack.

There's a line between falsely claiming a title and the no true Scotsman fallacy. You've accurately highlighted real world application of the term full stack, but the term absolutely does mean different things to different people.

There's no line. It's a huge grey area, like any other skillset. The person you described did work on the front and back-end.

This is an argument about semantics.
