System administrator should be main actor in security. Thing is no one wants to be system administrator now, everyone wants to be "cybersecurity expert/ethical hacker". Which in my opinion "ethical hacker" should be something that we call pentesters and we don't need system administrators to be "ethical hackers".
I do not equate pentesting with all security, it is that people don't want to do boring job of sysadmins. People don't want to spend all day going through logs, going through alerts and sorting out false positives. Which is real job there and is boring and that is not what "hackers do".
If that article would have title "How to become system administrator" no one would read it or comment it.
Pentesting is really small part of security that should be an elite, because most of the work is in system administration.
