I haven’t seen someone use the phrase begging the question properly in… forever.

Including here, since 'it never was' is a statement, not a question. So no question has been begged.

You've misunderstood the comment. The question posed in the title of TFA is being begged.

Oh I see, 2 statements:

That's begging the question. It never was.

What is the proper usage?

I don't think I can summarize it concisely, so I'll defer to the wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begging_the_question

In this case, the phrasing of the question implies something not at all evident, that ORMs are an anti-pattern.
