They're not claiming people are not needed.

They say that instead of being developers writing codee, they should be non technical product managers using no-code.

Company from the article is not claiming that but all the business people are talking about it.

They would like that "test-automation" would mean instead of 2 QA engineers now you need 1 doing 2x more.

Sad reality is that with "test-automation" you actually still need those 2 QA engineers and maybe part time dev to help them out. The upside would be that those QA people would spend less time repeating clicks and improve quality of checks.
