It’s not obsolete, the post is saying it is not magic. You need some number of bits to be secure in the next decade. PBKDF2(100k) gives you 16bits for free. For 80 bits the minimum password should have 64 bits, which is 5 Diceware words. Since most people have terrible passwords the extra 16 bits is not enough to reach an acceptable # of bits.
