The author didn't say it had anything to do with security. I have one or two SSH daemons out there listening on non-standard ports because of stupid limitations of middleboxes I'm forced to use, or because they're port-forwarded through something that already listens on 22 itself.
Security-wise, it seems pointless; my daemons on random non-standard ports still get hammered, and fail2ban takes care of keeping the log spam down just as easily as it does the ones on 22.
