This article have missed to cover about low fee newbies used to put to save cost on payments leading unconfirmed transaction for many hours. That will make them panic about bitcoin and they will start blaming bitcoin network for it and some may even opt out from the idea of using bitcoin again. 
Actually bitcoin was never meant to have high fees, that just got introduced recently by Blockstream.
And that is a big turn off for me.
I don't mind paying a nice fee to miners but it is getting to be a joke now.
