There are lots of cases where a PRNG is more appropriate than a CSPRNG. Wiping disks is one of them, as the CSPRNG becomes the bottleneck with large arrays. Testing i/o or network throughput is another; you don’t want your algorithm tainting the results.
I like the thrust of the article but if you’re going to be particular, you should also be correct. CSPRNGs are not suitable replacements in 100% of cases.

Engineering is about trade-offs.
