Ok, not quite random, but still hardly fair. If that's the take, it should be called "Websites should not use images created by this dithering tool" instead.

Usage of IE 11 and other browsers which do not support even webp (old safaris) is higher than usage of screen readers.

Personally I doubt we'll ever experience widespread usage of avif, considering how long it took Apple with webp, we'll probably sooner have jpeg xl.

I think the main premise of the article "Dithering is not Compression". People should use compression algorithms to compress their images. They shouldn't be using "color depth decrease" algorithms to compress their images.
