Yes it's a tech advert blog post, don't bother.
My personal experience is that there are situations where you want to completely disable swap on Linux. Workstations/desktops with large RAM (16GB or more) can see awful swapping when it comes time to close/restart Chromium/Firefox after long periods of use, and I've seen more than one instance where some large-RAM server application which needed to be completely restarted every 24-hours or more.
Swap is usually good, but not always.
