He forgot two of the most important reasons people don't test:

1) We inherited this monolithic spaghetti mess of a legacy system with a class hierarchy that does not lend itself to testing without a major rewrite of the codebase.

2) Online tutorials expertly teach you how to test methods like add(x, y) and things associated with the 5-minute blog tutorial they also have, but fail miserably at teaching you how to test code that actually might exist in the real world.
