> self-identified therapists.

"Victoria holds a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy from the Medical School at University of Toronto " I believe that makes her an actual therapist, not a self-proclaimed one. :)

Obviously the article is partially a sales pitch. But so are all articles of these kinds. When Kaspersky Labs write something about the poor state of security in the government sector, you don't immediately assume ulterior motives.

You're right, I should have used more precise wording, I let my (personal) frustration leak.

That being said, to address your second point: With many kaspersky articles I'm not left making a very interesting face ~paragraph or two in. Massive gaps between the author's assertions and my own worldview lead me to ask "Why is there this gap, should I adjust my stance or are there other forces at play", and with as substantial a delta as I see here (alongside my personal "skin in the game") I feel it's a benefit to ensure an opposition viewpoint is expressed.

I agree with all your original points. Don't second guess yourself.. I'll continue to call them self identified therapists despite whatever degree they hold
