This is an extremely bad take. Instead of standing up a hypothetical strawman, let's look at what Microsoft has actually replaced the password with. There are quite a few, ahem, choices.
From the blog post the article cites, those options are: Microsoft Authenticator app, Windows Hello, a security key, or a verification code sent to your phone or email. Note that Windows hello is also carrying a lot of water here, as that's facial recognition, pin, pattern, or fingerprint.
The biggest place that the password argument falls apart is, these choices are not exclusive. You can use any combination of them that you want. You can use multiple of the same option i.e. security keys or fingerprints.
