From the same article:

"In contrast, long-wavelength light is growth-inhibiting and short-wavelength light is growth-promoting in rhesus monkey (57) and tree shrew (58)."

Modern monitors have high amount of shortwave spectrum, blue is unusually shortwave.

The "in contrast" is to chickens and guinea pigs, where the opposite occurs. What relevance this has to humans is unclear.

It happens in primates, blue light causes problems. So yeah very much relevant. Stop cherrypicking.

Outdoor daylight typically has more blue light in it than indoor light, yet outdoor light appears to be protective. So yes, "unclear" is accurate.
