I don't understand the negative concerns mentioned by the author.

It's quite easy to sync notes to your mobile device using a free method, or using a cloud service you might already be paying for [4].

The great thing about Obsidian is that the notes itself are just markdown files, so you can use them in any other program. This protects you as a user in case Obsidian enters a enshittification phase. A good alternative is haptic [0], it is very similar to Obsidian but can also be used in the browser. Or LogSeq [1], SilverBullet[2] and just Visual Studio Code also work well. For just editing a single file MarkText[3] is also good.
