Seems like that's conflating actual meritocracy with an exploited/fake form of meritocracy.

Actual meritocracies are rare, but that doesn't mean we should redefine "meritocracy" to be the the distorted (and more common) version of it.

Please provide an example of an actual meritocracy so we can educate you that it does not exist.

Just like every example of a communist regime wasn't true communist, and hence failed!
