Why the strong criticism of this article?
These articles always assume everyone has the same threat model: you are head of the NSA's IT department, and hostile nation-states are spending billions to attack your security with everything from 1024-qubit computers to $5 pipe wrenches.
Forcing users to employ the same security tools and practices that would be appropriate for dealing with far more serious threats is just annoying, and likely to result in passive-aggressive resistance.
