For what it's worth, Troy's perspective is colored by living in Australia. My experience is that the Australian tech scene (I don't live there anymore) is in many ways similar to the 1990s in the U.S. Customers and recruiters ask about certificates. Hell, you typically have to go through a professional recruiter in order to get a job; it is often not possible to apply directly to companies. I am generalizing and also talking about my experience in Australia about 8 years ago. Maybe everything has changed.

While the tech scene in Australia may be behind the times in a few ways (possibly security as well), Troy's view here is in no way affected by living here. This material was created because PluralSight wanted CEH-related material, as their viewers (world-wide) were asking for it. Full stop. Blog posts like that are designed to steer traffic towards course views and "time watching the content", without which PluralSight authors don't get paid.
