You're absolutely right. I find the kind of reasoning employed in the article to be fallacious at best and malicious at worst, as it's trying to attribute conclusions about one thing to something else entirely, on wholly contingent grounds.
This reminds me of a debate thread on Reddit some years back where people were arguing about the calorie content of coffee: most people were correctly recognizing that coffee itself has negligible calories, but one person was insisting that coffee has a high calorie count because it is often consumed with cream and sugar. This article is on the level of the "coffee is high in calories" argument.
