I don't think it was meant to be taken literally (we didn’t write the article). We’d actually love to do more marketing, we barely have time for it though. We don’t have a storefront website—just a basic site with outdated product info but we dedicate all our efforts to the support section. We post on LinkedIn a couple times a year to reassure everyone that we're still alive, but that’s hardly a real marketing strategy. Currently our sales come from word-of-mouth and industry connections, not much from marketing. Hopefully, we’ll find the time to step it up in the future!

Yeah, reflecting on it, the article was obviously just being hyperbolic - I think I'm just on a hair's trigger for anything bordering falsehoods because of the current state of my country (USA). Also "storefront" was a poor word choice - I was originally going to say "professional," but decided against it for some reason.

Regardless, just keep making quality software that sells itself!

I admit to hyperbole.

The interesting part is that the main marketing and sales is by word-of-mouth and quality of product. All the hardware is not even on the website, which was very confusing to my understanding when writing. It makes sense under the resource constraints.
