I had to read the article twice to be sure that it was a utilitarian move (however questionable it might be) rather than a grand ideological stand that the article seems to spend much time portraying.

FWIW, data center IP addresses are already being treated as second class citizens by major content/service providers, and this has become an escalating barrier to self hosting. I am honestly not sure what the author is trying to accomplish.

Could you please expand on this a bit?

DC IPs are often:

1. totally blocked by some services (especially those related to copyright, like almost all the streaming services), 2. treated as suspicious by lots of CDNs (so you would get captchas more frequently; have stricter rate control, etc.)

It is ideological. No utilitarian explanation was provided.
