I think you're interpreting it wrong.
What you see as celebrating ignorance, I see as celebrating simplicity: "We don't _need_ to know how it works any more!"
For many use cases, this is perfectly acceptable (and the article rightly notes this).
"That's kinda impressive: dismissal condescension towards someone who knows more than you."
I saw nothing dismissive about that statement whatsoever. I read it as "they know more than I do about that particular subject, but what they know is not useful for me to know at this moment in time".
