It's very naive and silly to make blanket statements like this.

Charging immediately just because you're "supposed to" is just as bad a strategy as not charging because you're "supposed to."

Some business models are "get as many users as possible, get acquired, and live as a loss leader for a larger organization" and that's perfectly fine.

I agree, and address that in the article.
