The author is missing the bit that the LLM provides: automatically mapping input parameters to things the user wants to do, and responses to the way the UI displays them. Take out the LLM and you're not that far away from existing protocols and standards. It's not plugging your app into any old MCP and it just works (like the USB-C example). But, it is a good point that the hype is getting a lot of apps and services to offer APIs in a universal protocol. That helps.
