Weirdly, what the article claims is that it's the ideal size because of speed. So they are trying to say it's faster, therefore it's better.

Which is in my view a very silly claim devoid of any context.

The article also claims it's the ideal size because it minimizes reverts and ends up with PRs getting more thoroughly reviewed (based on # of comments). I think that makes for a more compelling case.
Not unless we know what those changes are.

Guess what, all typo commit fixes are <50 lines and never get reverted.

I wish never, definitely have been burned by a thinko in a supposed "typo fix". But I'll give you "rarely".
Haha, that's a fair point. Cries in dynamic languages

I've definitely had code with typos consistently replicated due to auto completion, then had to fix it all later on, haha.
