The quoted blog is very vague about what the author thinks is being

I don't know what specifically the author is referring to, but i have
heard retired professionals talk about technical advertising and
announcements of innovations, and having responses like "That's not
new!  We were doing that decades ago using _____!"  I've heard it so
frequently that it lends credibility, in my mind, to this article.

I've also heard of marketing churn where vendors are continually
bundling and unbundling their product lines, and the market has
enthusiasm for this shell game, as though it had never been seen
before.
