I would say that all issues can be traced back to letting people sell stuff on what was designed as a government/educational communications system. We keep on adding patches trying to smother commercially-motivated bad actors who were not an expected part of the original design, but it's not really much different from playing whack-a-mole.
(I didn't read the article, but I imagine it's Yet Another Idea for some kind of patch, and probably not a very good one, because most of them aren't.)
