The author seems to claim that is is implausible for a router vendor to sell a router that drops more packets.

  The marketing plan is that the because router
  vendors are unwilling to say ‘has less memory!’ as a
  marketing tactic, maybe they’d be willing to say
  ‘drops more packets!’ instead. That seems implausible.

Yet he concludes by suggesting the router should drop all the packets.

  The best way to solve that is for a router to notice
  when the queue has too much data in it for too long,
  and respond by summarily dropping all data in the
  queue. /snip/ Of course, I’ve never seen that proposed 
  anywhere…

Based on his earlier reasoning, that would also be implausible.

That's what you would do IF you were going to be serious about making the router drop packets in a way which actually helps. I don't expect it to happen any time soon.
