It's a catchy title and so-so article, but I have to be autistic and point out that "X isn't about Y" is almost always false: rather it should be "X isn't (only|mostly) about Y". Clever false dilemmas are the opiate of the 115-IQ set.
I'll see your contrarianism and raise you an ad hominem.

That's literally almost the first sentence of the article:
> When I say “X is not about Y,” I mean that while Y is the function commonly said to drive most X behavior, in fact some other function Z drives X behavior more.
