Right, it is wrong and dangerous, but not for the reason the article claims. The user can always do something stupid to compromise their security, but if they just do what they're advised to do (store their token on their phone), then with proper 2FA, the attacker has to compromise two systems (the computer with the terminal and the phone with the TOTP secret) to gain access. With SSH passphrases, only one system needs to be compromised (the terminal).
