Going to hard disagree. What he's saying there is that today we have free implementations of libraries which solve incidental complexity and those libraries work (nearly) everywhere (nearly) the same. I worked in finance on K and the name makes in impossible to use google/stack overflow to find anything about the language. Which meant I had a paid for help and tech support from a company that's been largely unchanged from the 80s. It was fucking phenomenal. Once I gave up the idea that I knew best and started working in the way the language expected me my productivity was an order of magnitude higher than it would have been in a cobbled together python pipeline like the one he uses there. And because someone was responsible for the language and tooling I could use scripts from before I was in primary school, and they worked as expected. I dare you to try and do the same with any language that isn't C.
