I get this is a problem that bugs you, but it has little to do with the authors points. Big Sur isn’t much different from Catalina (which did lick more things down). But MacOS isn’t Linux, despite its greatness as a developer platform it’s aimed at consumers, so Apple is going to serve their needs first. And they are going to err on the side of more security. And on iOS it’s a phone OS, security and consistency is ten times more important and is the main reason users buy iPhones. Apple is never going to open it up for power users because before they know it tens of millions may have installed some app that slipped through review, rooted their phones and filled them with malware.
