This is a Problem, assuming someone is good at talking is also a good engineer.

Complexity for the manager? Who is deciding how complex a system is. This could also be a skill issue with the „team“ by taking skilled engineers and mix them with not so skilled ones.

Overall the article is written for managers which try to add a image of an engineer which is like a manager. Influence people and give up on complex stuff.
