I've skimmed over the article, which seemed to give a rather sincere overview of the OCR market, then tesseract, the way it works, and how to interface it with python.

However, the article is also an advertisement for nanonets, so they also chose to highlight the complexity side a bit before putting themselves forward.

As someone who hadn't heard of them before, this could be written in the title. They seem to lease (I prefer that term) an API to do OCR with a couple rules and templates depending on your use case.

I am not entirely sure what they expect with this? Maybe SEO or to hijack search results?
