Reading through and wondering for perspective, this caught me:
>No IT architects or enterprise architects. True, neither Uber nor Skype/Microsoft have hands-off software architect positions. Engineers at higher levels, like staff engineers, are expected to still regularly code.
That statement says that EA is not commonly coding. Is that true? I don't know that I've met many architects that aren't engineers by another name (possibly cross departmental/enterprise).

It feels like a straw-man.
