I think this article misses the fact that the native date and time pickers look ugly in Chrome, and that a lot of websites are ultimately an extension of a brand, not just a tool where function > form. The Airbnb date range picker looking on-brand makes the experience seem a lot more slick. There are more things to optimise for than just accessibility.

I agree with the other things though like having multiple inputs for date ranges / trying to use native elements with just some custom styling.
