Seems like a rage-bait title, but I kind of agree with the general premise that cybersecurity teams shouldn't treat themselves as solving unique problems that other auxiliary teams (like SRE/platform engineering) haven't already come across and/or already solved.
I am of the opinion that this massive push by big organizations (coupled with mandates for C-suite roles like CISO) into building a dedicated army of staffers for "cybersecurity" feels like just another attempt to bloat up the size of an organization and create more 'bullshit' jobs, as David Graeber put it over half a decade ago.
