Having now read the article, I think have a better understanding of how they intend a non-technical person to use Urbit.
Take link sharing for example. Instead of going to a 3rd party site like Reddit or Hacker News, I would simply have a link sharing app on my Urbit virtual computer. Because I host the app, I have control of the links I share and who I share with, but I don't have to go through the rigmarole of actually deploying a LAMP stack (or whatever) or dealing with configuring a public IP address, firewall, CDN, authz/authn, domain name registration, or any of that stuff. I just say "share these links with these other people" and it just works.
Now, I don't know how that works under the hood. I don't even know if that actually works today (looks like it does?). But so long as I right about how I'm supposed to actually use Urbit, then I'd say the article was successful.
