Why do articles like this even exist? Wish I could get the 2 minutes I spent reading it and typing this out, back.

Haha, I thought as well. Here's a quote to further that point:
Attaining this level of concentration requires a state of mind called being ‘in the flow’, a quasi-symbiotic relationship between human and machine that improves performance and motivation.
As if the concentration required to code is anything special. And that fantasy bit about human-machine relationship.

Agreed, I've experienced the same "flow" playing The Sims. It's not that special.
Edit: actually, I probably got even more intensely into a flow state making custom tracks in Trackmania, but The Sims is more well known.
