Although I don't disagree with any of your assertions, I think TFA is interesting because it observes that all the people who want to be rich don't actually want to be rich. The first group considers money the solution to insecurity. Money is not what they want, they want to be confident and date models. The second group doesn't want money (they just want some money) and the third group is playing a game. They want to win, and the metric is money. People state the desire to be rich often enough, but there are only very few people who really want to be rich. I think the blog pointed that out pretty well.
