Good article.
Although I'm not completely in agreement with the author, the point is valid and we do need better taxonomy because not everything that uses a blockchain requires highlighting that component over the any other technology it also may rely on.
As for non-public (consortium, enterprise, centralised, etc) blockchains, here I have a very different opinion based on my own work experience, and would point to the Energy Web Foundation's (https://energyweb.org/ https://energyweb.org/) consortium network as a prime example or to the work being done on Plasma (https://www.learnplasma.org/en/ https://www.learnplasma.org/en/) which allows for private chains to inhering the security properties of a root public chain like Ethereum, and makes extensive use of cryptoeconomics for trust minimisation.
