I feel like the article cherry picks examples of TCP doing either too much or too little given specific applications. Of course we could always go by the end-to-end principle and tailor protocols from scratch each time we build an application but in a lot of cases the state handling provided by TCP is a pretty solid base to work with. Also, unrelated to the article, there seems to be some Dunning-Kruger peak of hating TCP that a lot of people pass at some point, myself included.
