I agree with the general thrust of the article, but not a lot of the details. And then there's this:
> Our phones have as much RAM as my “studio” work desktop
This is unlikely to be true. From what I can find, the latest iPhone has 4GB of RAM, and Samsung is up to 8GB (and they are growing this stat fast to be sure), but no "studio" desktop made in the last five years is going to have that little.
> 22.82 Mbps will reliably download very complex web
> pages nearly instantaneously.
This is definitely not true. It is true that the download time is not large, but between DNS and TLS latency and the fact that most "complex" web pages are built of assets from dozens of different servers, your actual wait time for the assets can be quite long. But even if you discount that, the render time is probably longer than the download time. If your page is that complex, I hope it's very beautiful to look at.
