I think the issue here is that the company does one thing and the article is sort of grandstanding about a much larger and worthwhile problem that’s fairly different. As another commenter said, VGS seems to be solving sales and distribution with security baked on top. That’s useful, but it does not at all solve the core problems outlined in the article.

So he (and I) are not rejecting this company because the technology already exists, but because this is not a company capitalizing on that existing technology. We’re pointing out that the company - whatever it does do - does not meaningfully resolve the problems in the article, not that the problems don’t exist. This would be more like someone responding to Drew Houston and saying Dropbox doesn’t in fact work as claimed. That’s not what’s being said here.

I’m pretty sure neither of us are saying there’s no problem and to avoid this exact criticism my top level comment specifically explained why it’s a usability problem. There is a company to be made based on “not new” technology; this isn’t doing that.
