That's not inherently true of open source and I didn't see where the article singled out a specific license. There are several variants of GPL the AGPL has clauses that say you still have to provide source in cases short of distribution of the software itself.

Yes but AGPL is rarely used, the vast majority of FOSS uses GPL or a less restrictive license...
