A pity it didn't get specific at all about the mechanisms that steal focus.

And even though cold turkey detox is not a viable solution, there are things individuals can do that help. Like disabling notifications for absolutely everything except messages from a small number of people.

Doesn't everyone do this? Maybe that's why I find articles like this so confusing

From my experience, the vast majority of people do not. In our rarefied circles, quite a few people do.
