His take is a result of him trying not to completely let go of the story he's already decided is significant. There is no story. There isn't really a great way to defend against credential stuffing attacks when the adversary has access to a huge residential proxy network and you don't want to greatly inconvenience your users. All major US banks are pretty vulnerable to credential stuffing attacks. If banks aren't going to defend against it, Ring isn't.

I really wish this was included in the article, his conclusion makes a lot more sense in that context (though I still disagree with it).

The article implied he wasn't the only one they talked with. There isn't anything he said that was explicitly incorrect (unlike some of the other unnamed security researchers), but he must not have much experience with credential stuffing incidents given his responses.
