Other than nitpicking the terminology/analogies used, I find myself in broad agreement with this post, although I would have liked a bit more analysis (even just backward looking) in terms of the market dynamics (eg. why PaaS lost it's early momentum and we backslid to assembling custom platforms out of IaaS components and services, the cautionary tale that OpenStack presents to efforts like OpenAPI, etc.), but I understand why not revealing one's thoughts on strategy might be the smarter choice. OTOH, I really would have expected Heroku to be mentioned in the 'SaaSification of Rails' section (since Heroku is literally 'Rails as a Service'), if only to state that it wasn't the intended meaning of the phrase (although Heroku's add-on marketplace can be seen as a stab in that direction).
