That's not the point.
The article is arguing that you lose your progress. Progress doesn't necessarily mean stats and items. It can also mean distance travelled.
As someone who played a fair amount of Diablo 2, I can confirm one of the worst things to do was to have to repeatedly chew through the same area, clearing out enemies. Even just walking for miles is a waste of time. Apparently they've removed town portals too, so that teleport bonus is gone.
Why did you miss out the second part of my post which already discussed this matter?
