After maintaining an OLAP cube system for some years, I'm not that sure after reading the article.

The nice thing of an OLAP cube is the UI and how business users can easily drag and drop items to explore data (standard reports are best created automatically and don't need an OLAP layout/setup).

If the UI (Tableau, Excel Power Pivot) is the same, then yes, OLAP cubes are a thing of the past. Otherwise not.

It's basically the same.
