What's interesting is that none of these sites have a "search" feature. Which is an important accessibility feature and a clear and legitimate use case for a query string.

They aren't saying the concept of query strings are bad, They're saying unsolicited query strings during referal are the issue.

My website has search without a query string: https://www.jeremykun.com/

It looks like you’re just eschewing URLs altogether? URLs are an important accessibility feature, &c.

Nice blog, but that's user hostile for a lot of products with search features. People share links pretty regularly.

Nothing stops someone from sharing a link to the blog or any individual page...

Not all software is a blog.
