Nothing in that article suggest that open source firmware needs to print the yellow tracking dots, or that that feature can’t be disabled by users.

I think that's the reason it doesn't exist.
The yellow dot feature doesn't exist? It most certainly does. You can see this yourself by putting a darker ink in place of the yellow in your printer.
No, they're saying the reason open source firmware doesn't exist is because doing so could allow you to not print the dots when printing.
