And none of the arguments in presented TFA referenced mobile devices at all. Even the section which would be relevant ("I don’t have Word installed") does not even mention mobile. And it doesn't even touch the real problems with .docs on mobile, eg their "non-responsive" layouts.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. There are plenty of other things that aren't the same now as 20 years ago. More people on Macs. More people on Linux. More free or low cost alternatives to Word. Stuff tends to be web-centric rather than 8.5x11" paper-centric.
A book could be written about all the things that have changed since then.
Just because an argument was had 20 years ago doesn't mean it isn't worth having again. Otherwise we'd still be using stone tools.
