Of course the arguments of [15] in the paper are the main refutation. Paraphrasing: Optical transistors will need to match all these criteria before they can compete with bulk CMOS. They don't and physics predicts they won't anytime soon. We will replace wires with optics though [1].
This discussion started in 1959 when Feynman pointed out we eventually will create things at atomic sizes with elementary particles [2].
