I think this article conflates (at least) two problems.

The first is that very few people (especially rich people) are anonymous. A motivated person who has had a psychotic break can be very dangerous, and if you’re even a little bit famous, the probability of that happening to you goes up substantially.

The second issue is the one that everyone is getting riled up about - wealth inequality.

These are distinct issues, and I think it does harm - in the form of polarization - to not explicitly call them out.
