uuids are ubiquitous and easy and implemented in many languages in the standard library - therefore a dev can get near-guaranteed uniqueness without thinking too hard about it.
Until another standard similar to what the article is suggesting becomes widely implemented in standard libraries then uuid isn't going anywhere, although in principle I agree with many of the arguments presented.
