The blog post merely points out a very significant pitfall in the FAA ruling. By the way, I would research the actual requirements of carrying passengers for hire before saying all you need is a commercial certificate. You need to comply with Part 135 which has very detailed and strict operational requirements and legal aspects.

The blog post goes beyond discussing the ruling and explicitly discusses why they think their service falls outside the regulations for commercial operations.

You're right that I misunderstood the requirements for a commercial operation, but looking it over it still doesn't look particularly onerous.
