> I'm curious about this point; if the only thing stored on the chain is a URL (including Drive/Imgur) then there's no possible way to actually preclude the content from changing right?

When you use something like IPFS the url is created from a hash of the file contents, so it is not possible to change the file without creating a new url.

Sure if it's IPFS. The article seemed to suggest that there were NFTs that were just Imgur urls and that a savvy purchaser of that NFT would somehow ensure the Imgur image couldn't be deleted or changed, which I don't believe is possible.
