The author doesn’t understand the phrase “security by obscurity” and doesn’t know why we use that. He took the normally used phrase literally and ran with it. The phrase is used to suggest developers shouldn’t think that obscuring something provides security. We don’t say not to obscure stuff. In fact all the examples in the articles are from what’s already used in products. So the security community uses the best available method to secure the given task/stack already.
