Art is good, therefore the choice of this vs that typeface is life-or-death? That doesn't follow, I'm afraid, and the quote is very uneconomical with words relative to the point its making.
Either way, it's not thing that would come close to justifying the extreme importance these tech companies are placing on it.
If you disagree, can you articulate the point in your own words so that others can see the subtlety it's missing?
The point of clear communication is so that someone can understand your argument without having to squint and struggle.
Edit: To which I would add, the point of quoting someone else's thoughts is because they ostensibly communicate it better than you yourself can. I think this quote fails that.
That's exactly what the quote says. You're being very uncharitable with your interpretation.
