The author seems to be thinking that people making the distinction between capex and opex aren't making the assumptions of lower utilization, agility, etc. that are mentioned at the end of the post. On top of this, when I use this terminology, it comes with the understanding that opex is better because moving costs to opex means breakeven for the customer is much easier to achieve. Clouds = on-demand = only pay for what you need = customer makes revenue directly on costs, rather than not.
