Agreed. Admittedly upon reviewing the article, PG did use it as an effect, not an objective. But at the end of the day he's reasoning from rarified datasets like % of billionaires inheriting their wealth, vs using more broadly meaningful indicators like inequality in healthcare and education access, housing uncertainty, and others. That's what makes him so out of touch.
