I can't help but also feel that is also an issue and in another given language this issue might not happen ... but they'd hit another.
It's so easy to say "don't do X because problem Y won't happen" but hard to predict what happens when you move from (language, platform, or whatever) X to (language, platform, or whatever) Z.... and I suspect people often hit issues and realize that maybe Y wasn't the problem.
I see it all the time and I feel like "Wait guies I'm not sure we're fixing the right thing!?!?!"
This article raises a lot more questions than answers IMO.
