Your points are fine, but I do not see how they apply to the blog post.

Overall, the blog post says, unit tests take a long time to write compared to the value they bring - instead (or also) focus on more valuable automated integration tests / e2e tests because it is much easier than it was 10-20 years ago.

My point is that OP is in step 1 of 5. It's not to say there aren't any good thoughts there, but the overall diatribe comes from a place of inexperience so take their advice with a grain of salt.

I don't think OP is step 1. OP is not arguing against testing, although the title could lead one into thinking that. OP is arguing for better, more reasonable testing.

OP appears to be arguing what you call step 5 of 5. They're not even saying you should never unit test, only that it should be avoided where it doesn't make sense, and that this happens more often than step-3 people like to think. Furthermore, the main direction of the article is that it's arguing for integration testing as a viable replacement for unit testing in a lot of situations, which doesn't relate to your overall point at all.

the comment is relatable to a testing mindset progression, which is relevant.

Your comment on the other hand, less so...
