I was glad to see that the top post on the MSO one is asking about all the non-technical Stack Exchange sites. That really stood out to me as well—this was a very long blog post (too long, in my opinion) yet it said practically nothing about the whole network and focused almost exclusively on Stack Overflow and their paid products.
