If "hiring for culture fit" universally meant what this article says it means, then yeah, it's a bad thing to do all around. But the article seems to be more about the toxic cultures that some companies have, and how hiring more people that fit really well into that toxic culture just keeps it going or makes it worse. All good points.
It's not an argument against the idea of hiring for culture fit though- rather it's an excellent description of just how toxic some startup cultures can be, and how interviewers can abuse the culture fit concept (intentionally or not) to discriminate against people who are different from them.
