It seems like the author is overcomplicating the issue. Rather than worrying about what are reasonable expectations, hire the candidate that brings the most value. This likely means you'll be hiring privileged people, but at least you're weighing that against market value instead of weighing it against an even more abstract notion of "reasonability". I think viewing it this way simplifies the moral calculus a bit.
