The answer is in the article (whether it’s right or wrong I’m not opining):

> The answer is it’s not about what you use to represent your rotations (quaternions, matrices, or rotors), it’s about how you apply those rotations.

OK, so my question is what's wrong with breaking a rotation into left and right isoclinic parts? These parts commute, so this shouldn't gimbal lock.

Also, the article didn't mention this exact method. It's unclear what he's referring to.
