Did you even read it? No idea where you got "migrations are bad" from.

If moving data around within a migration isn't always a manual process, please show me the tool which automatically generates the correct statements.

I don't believe a tool can always generate the correct statements. But I do believe those same statements can be used on all deployments, which I consider automation.
