Nothing in this article is foundational, just stuff the author doesn't like or understand (such as the differences between arrays and lists) and it all happened to be superficial as hell. There are valid reasons to not teach python as a foundational language (and valid reasons for it as a good intro language), but none of them are in this article. As another commenter put it, it reads more like "why isn't Python C?" and still somehow misses the important teaching aspects of the C family of languages.
