Yes, but too single-minded of a focus can lead to opportunity blindness. Daily pivots are bad. Never pivoting is bad. Building a successful startup is highly nuanced.

Doesn't pivot usually mean "our original plan X doesn't work, let's ditch it and do Y _instead_"? That's a different thing from what the article is talking about, "our plan is still X, but let's do Y _at the same time_, it won't cost that much".
