I'm not really grokking the explanation in the article of why the SameSite cookie attribute doesn't fix CSRF. I thought that was the whole design intent of SameSite=Secure on an HTTPS cookie, was to fix CSRF. Can someone boil it down?

The article seemingly says "these cookies won't be sent with an unsafe request. But that doesn't fix it!" And doesn't elaborate?
