You're entirely correct. Academia is broken is so many ways. A lot of my colleagues are wastes of space and some are indeed harmful. I don't think I'm a great advisor either. No one teaches us how to advise students.
My take is based entirely on facts of the article interpreted through an advisor's lens rather than that of a journalist trying to get clicks.
