Read the article. Aaronson is in fact arguing against a new technology based on the fundamental principles of the technology. DWave is not a quantum computer, they aren't even a quantum annealing computer. They (probably, but not certainly) exploit a very particular effect to optimize a very particular problem. It cannot run Shor's or Grover's, and it never will be able to.
