The article fails to explain how the alleged monopoly of Monotype hurts smaller type foundries. Reads almost like a hit piece. There's some story about an independent author not having a legal team to protect from fonts stealing... d'uh. It's a comment on the US legal system, not on how bad Monotype is. Making fonts is technically easy. FontForge is open-source. If you don't want to sell fonts through Monotype, nothing stops an independent artist or a company from keeping the books and dealing with payment process by themselves. And there is a lot of smaller companies who do that, not only Adobe and Google.
