Excellent article.

Although I have been in the world of waterfall development back in the day and I see zero ways in which waterfall is beneficial for the vast vast majority of the projects.

(There are industries and projects where waterfall suits way better than agile up to a point where using agile would be absurd. Think NASA software and such. But people in those industries usually know really well why they use this process and have no need to engage in religious wars with outsiders.)

So while the article is excellent I do not agree that waterfall was a scapegoat and agile was Casus Beli engineering.
