I think a lot of you are missing what he stated in the article, that the purely functional portion of design, the problem-solving, 1 dimensional communication design strives to achieves is formulaic, templated. It's why every speed limit sign on the side of the road looks the same.
Style keeps things interesting, and a designer should not be considered "less-than" for being a stylist and a designer, especially when the communication goal can be served so well by, heaven forbid, paint drips, 45 degree lines, and whatever else trends appeal to the masses.
