Unfortunately this comment is conflating two ideas.

Nothing in this article conflicts with the idea that a UX designer knowing how to implement their designs in code would be a benefit.

I don't see a problem with the author (and others like myself) wanting the tools to be more capable.

Have you developed a design system? Do you understand the context of this domain? I don't ask this to be rude, but the issues that the author mention are some of the key problems with the state of being able to maintain design systems.

It's more about the ability to efficiently generate and document the design intent and iterate on the design. This then needs communicated to the full team, whether that's stakeholders or the team implementing the design.

I think the authors suggestions are very good and valid.
