Specifically: I think it completely reasonable (possibly, recommended) to decide "I'm going to prioritize work over having a family until age (30, 35, 40)". The article completely misses the dimension of calendar time.

Family does not only mean partner and kids. Most people have parents, siblings, maybe nieces & nephews. You might choose to be available for them too.
