Maybe you misread the article - the obsession here is with "speedup", which is not the same as productivity.

The author gives the example that instead of simply doing more X, being faster can enable you do Y instead of X (where Y might be only working half-days). Very much "work smart not hard", which is where a lot of grind-y productivity stuff lands.
