This completely ignores the defence in depth principle. Yes it is good that users use strong, unique passwords, but we know the password store can get compromised. A second factor provides additional protection, but it is not foolproof. The network analogy of this post: why use a network firewall, we just need to keep our devices patched and up to date!!

The point of the article was that there is no downside if your password is unique. They will have your data on that particular site. The rest of the sites are just as secure as they were.

There is no depth here...
