I think I agree, but I'm not sure where Dave is claiming this is a paradigm shift in data visualization?
One of the key claims is actually that it's based on _old_ established visualization patterns from before BI tools were popular, and therefore results in consistently nice charts. The other key claim is just that it's simple and maintainable.
Sometimes tools & products can be useful as just well executed points in the known design space. You can already do all this with AI, but it's perhaps a little bit less nice and less maintainable.
