A couple excellent reasons for the gate keeping: panning and group shots are quite difficult in portrait video and are much better handled in landscape.
The “uninteresting” elements of the landscape mentioned in the article are the settings for the objects (that often the photographer shot in portrait), and are often seen as essential in photography and films for setting moods and a sense of place.

To be clear, I totally think landscape is the correct choice for a lot of things, my original comment was mostly directed at the idea that vertical is somehow not a valid artistic choice.
