As I read it, this blog isn't about microservices vs monoliths. Microservice doesn't mean "more than one process" or even "very small processes".
From the microservice perspective a single service is supposed to be a vertically integrated set of functionality all the way from data to the UI, instead of horizontally segmenting API services and UI. Horizontal segmentation doesn't give the same team-scaling benefits since it still takes significant inter-team coordination to deliver functionality.
So the example is really a single "service" that just happens to include multiple processes.
