Nowhere in the article does he "concede he came to the U.S. illegally."

Yes it does. He mentions he was able to work because of an Employment Authorization Document associated with his pending I-485 Adjustment of Status, but has been in the US for 20 years.

There is no US visa that allows living there for 20 years without work authorization. He entered illegally (or overstayed illegally) then tried to adjust status based on marriage, which is fraud.

Entering illegally != Overstaying a visa.

That may sound like a distinction without a difference to you, but legally they provide very different avenues for acquiring a residency permit.
