I think this article really misses the point that Burry was making, which is that if the indexs see a sell off they won't find the liquidity in the market to cash out their positions and will drive the market down.
This article seems to focus on all of the upsides of indexing, which are all true. However, those upsides don't negate the risk that is being pointed to.
