This is absurd. The author misrepresents the type of "abstraction" that people mean. This abstraction ladder goes as follows:

  - contributing individually
  - contributing as a tech lead
  - contributing as a technical manager
  - leaving the occupation to open a vanity business, such as a gastropub or horse shoeing service

Abstraction has a specific meaning in computer programming. I don't think he's misrepresenting it.

OP is being a bit tongue-in-cheek, I believe they mean that some vibe coders really want to be abstracted away from their own jobs, and are very much not interested in computer-scientific abstraction.
Oh.
