This seems kind of obvious and does this article stem from someone taking the term startup too literally? Obviously it's not the same - nobody hears "startup in a big company" and assume start-up things like "paid inequity, on your ass if this fails, barely health insurance, etc.". Those things are part and parcel of a startup life and both create the conditions and attract the kind of people who do that. Startup within a large company always just meant a fairly independent team that is exploring a new space, and having been "there" a bunch of times I can tell you it's awesome. I am now at a real startup that's awesome as well but different. Just making the point that to write this scathing article drawing a distinction that is actually just obvious, seems pointless.
