This article asserts SOLID and MVC is good with basically no justification. It also doesn’t show how non-hooks code would be better.

I agree with this exactly. I think appeals to SOLID or any other design principles are generally not helpful when arguing/discussing about code quality. I think people should just talk about readability and maintainability instead, since those are what we are actually interested in - not following some dogma.

Those are impossible to measure though, would make a discussion extremely hard. SOLID principles are accepted as something that makes your code more maintainable over time
