I'm not a fan of this post as it seems to be pointing the blame at the wrong thing: the problem isn't the shiny new thing, it's the environment that allowed the situation to develop: people working in isolation, key decisions being made by individuals in private, lack of oversight.
There are plenty of arguments in favour of allowing teams to use shiny new tech. Done responsibly, it can help with engagement, job satisfaction, retention, and recruitment.
