Because the article is not much more than an elaborate wall of buzzword bingo and name-dropping. Nowhere does it answer the question it imposes on itself, and explains how a "yes" could be a serious answer to the question. Where they mention 2018, they talk about the knowledge graph, not graph databases. Nowhere does the text go into depth about why traditional database might not be suitable to the task of "[combining] quantitative and statistical bottom-up analysis with qualitative analysis based on expert-provided knowledge". It's a text-book example for Betteridge's law.
