This is a restatement of a conspiracy theory that was bullshit when it first appeared three or four years ago, and it hasn't improved. The convoluted way he uses to get there should one day make him President. Basically it's "they're unifying file systems across iOS and macOS" -> "they must be unifying something else" -> "They must be getting rid of root". Never mind that they could effectively do that today, without a filesystem switch, with System Integrity Protection. Yes, you can boot into the rescue system and deactivate it but nobody does, and those that do don't make a difference. Because (assuming Apple's goal is revenue), SIP in /Applications would be enough to destroy the market for independently distributed applications. "For some, this will feel like a bleak story. Or even a scary one. In the name of security." Or maybe... In the name of love. Or strangely important(ish) sounding short paragraphs. Encryption in this context is about native support for full-disk encryption. It's completely removed from the iOS mechanisms that stop you from accessing the file system, which is based on signatures.
