This post seems to be mistaken in its understanding of innovation. It seems to take it as using new technologies. But this is a misunderstanding.
Innovation means inventing novel solutions that solve relevant problems better than what has been known before. This could be creating a new tech, and using it, but it could also be applying existing tech in a novel way.
So you could be innovative using old technology, and you could use new technology, but not be innovative.
I guess the company where the author of the post works is neither innovative, nor do they use new technology, but there's space on the market for companies like that. Principal engineers who work there don't even need to know the meaning of innovation.
