I don't think the article says that. People still write games for the NES in assembly but that's effectively unrelated to current software development practice.

Again, this comparison that professional woodworking is anything like NES game building is just so far from my experience. Cabinet makers (and to a less extent furniture makers) are numerous and very successful.
Mass production doesn't have to eliminate the alternative to exist. The same way fast-food and cheap groceries are not a threat to quality restaurants.
This 'only one can exist' is something you brought in, though. Neither the article nor I am saying that.
