From the, really well written, article:

I think he means "every PoW coin", because PoS coins will change the game significantly (or am I missing something). In the comments at Medium we see several question being asked about this (at this point all unanswered).
- undersuit 9y agoYou can still use an ASIC with a PoS coin, it just doesn't benefit you as much. PoS coins still perform work on a blockchain with cryptography, but there is no reward to be the fastest. An ASIC for a PoS would allow you to lower the power requirements(Wattage and compute) of the machine running the PoS coin.
