I mean, the article is pretty lean. It basically says, "Don't use OAuth because if you're locked out of your account on the OAuth provider, you won't be able to sign in." I don't disagree with that.
I don't think it's fair to expect every website I sign up for to be able to safely store passwords. OAuth is a convenient and much safer way to allow users to authenticate to your website or service. I don't think it's fair to dismiss every service that doesn't provide this option.
