I mostly skimmed the post but seems they’re using “debugging” as more the process than a specific debugging tool? However, a contrary example to your point about being “able to understand code even without a debugger” is using a dev console in web browser to ‘debug’ html/css/js etc. Depending on the role that _could be_ considered an important skill (a specific case being examining http status codes).
