This was my first thought as well. Monorepos are one of the worst antipatterns in development. The article feels like an addict or member of an unhealthy relationship spinning yet another way to avoid addressing the root cause.
"The traditional approach to marriage didn't work for us. But then we realized that co-habitating (or even living near each other), sharing resources, and even communicating with each other are goals that don't apply to everyone. That's how we invented the 'live 500 km apart and never communicate with each other again' style of marriage, and it saved our relationship."

I'm exaggerating, of course. Slightly.
