They also talk about using software to look up dog names.
At what point we stop pretending that the king is in fact naked and doesn't have new clothes?

Also known as going through an end-to-end user flow?
The point of a "hello world" is also not to greet people.

No one is pretending anything. There are only those who understand onboarding is about onboarding, and those who fail to understand it and fill in that blank with outlandish interpretations.
This has zero to do micromanagement. Either your new hire onboards with dedicated staff in dedicated sessions, or that task falls upon the new arrival's team members. The need is always there, and forcing each team to allocate one or two members to do the job that a onboarding meeting does is hard or impossible to justify.
Keep in mind that the blog author talked about SSO and installing software.
