I immediately distrust any article that makes sweeping claims about one-paradigm-to-rule-them-all.
The reason why multiple paradigms exist is because here in the real world, the competing issues and constraints are never equal, and never the same.
A big part of engineering is navigating all of the offerings, examining their trade-offs, and figuring out which ones fit best to the system being built in terms of constraints, requirements, interfaces, maintenance, expansion, manpower, etc. You won't get a very optimal solution by sticking to one paradigm at the expense of others.
One of the big reasons why FP languages have so little penetration is because the advocacy usually feels like someone trying to talk you into a religion. (The other major impediment is gatekeeping)
