Typography is very important but it's one of the first things that designers learn about so it's accessible low hanging fruit that gets upvoted often. It's made worse by the fact that design isn't as rigorous as science so it's harder to completely invalidate articles like these. These kinds of posts are similar to debates about how you should comment on code or what version control software you should use. It matters, but it gets a disproportionate amount of press compared to its importance.
