This article barely acknowledges that domain privacy can be useful, even essential, for individuals who want to own domains without exposing their home address online. If law enforcement needs to know who controls a Namecheap domain, they can subpoena Namecheap. It doesn’t need to be public information.

Agreed; the article is very one sided and also get some of the fundamentals wrong (for example, it uses the term “web sites” when it should be talking about domains)

It also fails to draw any analogy between domain privacy services and real world analogies such as using LLCs.
